Central Instruments:
The high-temperature contact-angle measurement system used in Professor Li Yawei’s research group’s paper was supplied by Tianjin Zhonghuan. The paper also specifically acknowledges Tianjin Zhonghuan Electric Furnace Co., Ltd., and we would like to express our gratitude for the professor’s recognition of Tianjin Zhonghuan’s instrumentation. Tianjin Zhonghuan will continue to support researchers in their scientific investigations and technological innovation.




Equipment Introduction:
The high-temperature contact angle tester is a specialized research instrument designed to investigate the variation patterns of contact angles between various molten materials and their corresponding substrates under high-temperature conditions. It enables the characterization of material surface and interface properties under high-temperature and high-vacuum environments. This instrument can provide visual and quantitative characterization of the shrinkage, deformation, melting, wetting, spreading, and solidification behaviors of low-melting-point materials during heating and cooling cycles.
