Interaction of Aluminum/Cobalt Alloys with Liquid Gallium/Indium Eutectic

Resumo

Al/Co alloys with different element ratios were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The surface propagation of components of the Ga/In eutectic was studied in situ by energy-dispersive spectroscopy in the microscope chamber, and their propagation rate was estimated. It decreases with increasing Co content. Interaction of the Al/Co alloy with the liquid Ga/In eutectic was compared to that of the previously studied Al/Ni and Al/Fe alloys.
