Hydration of metal surfaces can be dynamically heterogeneous and hydrophobic (2013, background): “Static Heterogeneity of the Extended Metal Interface Equilibrium adlayer structures can exhibit incomplete surface coverage, the extent of which depends on surface geometry and reflects a competition between adsorption and hydrogen-bonding energetics (20).”

Viewpoint: metallurgical aspects of powder bed metal additive manufacturing (2016, background): “Aside from the formation of oxide layers, the adsorption of water on the powder particle surfaces must be considered [8, 9].”
