The study of the wettability in a liquid metal-solid surface system is of great technological interest for industrial processes like soldering and brazing, as well as for fundamental research in the field of diffusion, chemical reaction and formation of intermetallic phases.

For the characterization of these processes the so-called contact angle between the liquid droplet and the solid substrate is measured. Therefore, a high-temperature sessile drop device was planned and constructed, and first measurements in different liquid/solid systems were performed.
