Abstract: | Results are given on the effects of intercrystallite adsorption of impurities in the solid metal on the brittleness in contact with liquid metals. The results can be used to develop methods of protection by microalloying of the solid metal, and they can be used with other evidence to check some existing ideas on the atomic mechanism of liquid-metal embrittlement.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, Vol. 16, No. 7, pp. 7–13, July, 1973.We are indebted to V. M. Demin for assistance in the experiments with A1 alloys. |
