The problem of the spreading of an alloy over a reactive substrate is
of great interest from both an academic and industrial perspective.
The work presented herein represents the combined efforts of myself,
Bill Boettinger
and Andrew Roosen .
Here is a 
description
and a 
movie
of one of Bill's experiments in reactive wetting.
The paper described above includes much more than the detail given
below, so for more insight, read the paper!
