In this work, both surface and bulk interactions between Fe and SiC are studied. Surface interactions are quantified by contact angles measured by the sessile drop technique under high vacuum. Products of Fe-SiC bulk reactions are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and microprobe analysis. The interpretation of the experimental results on reactivity is based on classical thermodynamics applied to equilibria of bulk phases. The results are used to discuss the general relationship between bulk reactivity and wettability.
