| Research Abstract |
Al-Mg base alloys show grain boundary embrittlement at high temperatures caused by the segregation of sodium at grain boundaries. To suppress the embrittlement, it has been reported that the additional elements such as bismuth or antimony with high affinity with sodium are effective. In the present study, a novel method to add the elements was proposed by means of soaking in liquid metal baths to imporve the hot ductility of Al-Mg base alloys. As a result, it was revealed that the soaking in liquid bismuth could suppress the high temperature embrittlement. On the other hand in the soaking in liquid indium bath, it was shown that the effects were variable according to the temperature of soaking.
