LIQUID METAL EMBRITTLEMENT

1965
Abstract : An electron microscope investigation of the embrittlement of copper by liquid bismuth has been carried out. Observations were made above the melting point of bismuth (271 deg C) and at room temperature. A uniform bismuth film was formed by evaporation on a thinned copper foil. When this film melted, it tended to agglomerate (depending on the

Mechanisms of liquid metal induced embrittlement

International Materials Reviews, 1997
Liquid metal induced embrittlement (LMIE) refers to the loss of ductility of normally ductile metals and alloys when stressed while in contact with a liquid metal. Various models have been proposed to describe the mechanisms by which LMIE failure takes place.

Liquid metal embrittlement in failure analysis

Soviet Materials Science, 1992
Liquid metal embrittlement is an unusual but industrially quite important failure mechanism. Although it has been recognized for about a century, the phenomenon is still poorly understood at an academic level, and industrial awareness of potential problems is limited. A review of the published reports of failures involving liquid metal embrittlement is

Liquid and Solid Metal Embrittlement

1983
Low melting metals can interact with metallic substrates in several distinct ways that lead to premature fracture or surface degradation. The most spectacular, and widely studied, manifestation of metal-induced embrittlement (MIE) is the sudden fracture of stressed metals with little or no apparent inter-diffusion or chemical interaction.

Liquid metal embrittlement of nuclear materials

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 1980
Abstract The phenomenological features of liquid metal embrittlement (LME) are reviewed and the influence of metallurgical factors and testing conditions is described. The process is shown to be similar in many respects to the elastic fracture observed at lower temperatures in some bcc and hcp. metals.

Liquid Metal Corrosion and Embrittlement

2007
Abstract Liquid metals are frequently used as a heat-transfer medium because of their high thermal conductivities and low vapor pressures. Containment materials used in such heat-transfer systems are subject to molten metal corrosion as well as other problems. This chapter reviews the corrosion behavior of alloys in molten aluminum, zinc,

Investigation of Liquid Metal Embrittlement of AISI 316L Steels

Volume 5: Student Paper Competition, 2016
To support the feasibility and the deployment of LFRs one of the main issues to be solved is the reliability of structural materials to be exposed to liquid metal coolant. Particularly the Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) of steels is of interest for nuclear reactors and spallation sources projects because structural materials for these ...

Diffusional mechanism of embrittlement by liquid metals

Soviet Physics Journal, 1972
There is a discussion of certain deficiencies of the adsorptional mechanism of embrittlement of solid metals by melts. A diffusional mechanism is developed and formulated which explains not only liquid metal embrittlement, but also plastification of metals.
