Effect of electromigration on the formation of a transient zone during contact between solid bodies at temperatures below the melting point of a low-melting compound

Аннотация

The group of new systems in which there a drop in the phase transition (melting) temperature during contact between solid heterogeneous pairs of metals that differing in their types of phase diagrams is expanded. It is found that a combination of compounds is observed in all of the studied systems that occur in the time and temperature ranges characteristic of each pair of metals. Experiments involving electromigration are performed [1–3]. This process is identified using the current flowing through the samples. An explanation of the observed experimental results is offered.
