Research Abstract |
Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) of Al, Al alloys and amorphous alloy Al_<87>Ni_<10>Ce_3 was studied using various techniques such as acoustic emission, electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron probe micro analysis. Ga deposition on the amorphous alloy was found to cause an over 50% reduction in the fracture stress of the alloy, besides, to play a role somewhat in smoothing its serrated stress-strain curve. Acoustic emission was observed for both non-loaded and locaded samples of Al and Al alloys annealed at various temperatures. Results indicate that Ga atoms can penetrate the interior through grain boundaries even in the absence of tensile stress, and that the penetration of Ga atoms is accelerated by applied stress. This AE technique has proved to be very usefull for predicting the occurrence of LME in these materials. Scanning tunneling microscopy was employed to investigate the detailed surface appearance of Al single crystals deposited by Ga. The obtained images strongly suggested the formation of Al-Ga alloy. We noticed anomalous Ga diffusion over evaporated Al films on glass substrates. The diffusion velocity was measured to be typically a few cm/h ; the value depended on film thickness, substrate temperature and annealing temperature. The mechanism of this anomalous diffusion was investigated using atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, XPS and EPMA.
