18. Cu and Co are immiscible and thus do not wet, e.g., Francis A. Shunk and Max Hansen, Constitution of Binary Alloys (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1969). Binary alloys. As added proof, saturation magnetization measurements on a series of thin Co samples overcoated with various amounts of Cu indicate the portion of the Co covered by Cu does not oxidize;
