Atomistic weak interaction criterion for the specificity of liquid metal embrittlement [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) occurs in some solid–liquid metal elements’ couples (e.g., Fe-Zn and Al-Ga), called specificity. Although some material parameters like solubility and bonding energy were suggested as controlling factors, none could be ...

Comparing Xe+pFIB and Ga+FIB for TEM sample preparation of Al alloys: Minimising FIB‐induced artefacts [PDF]
Journal of Microscopy, Volume 282, Issue 2, Page 101-112, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Recently, the dual beam Xe+ plasma focused ion beam (Xe+pFIB) instrument has attracted increasing interest for site‐specific transmission electron microscopy (TEM) sample preparation for a local region of interest as it shows several potential benefits compared to conventional Ga+FIB milling.

Self‐Catalyzed Chemically Coalescing Liquid Metal Emulsions [PDF]
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 20, May 29, 2025.A new type of liquid metal emulsion is developed that chemically activates and becomes electrically conductive under mild thermal stimulus. The activation mechanism occurs through a unique set of catalytic dehalogenation and chemical oxide etching reactions. These emulsions are 3D printable and exhibit high shape retention after being heated.

Significance of cutting plane in liquid metal embrittlement severity quantification [PDF]
SN Applied Sciences, 2021 The automotive industry is turning to advanced high strength steels (AHSS) to reduce vehicle weight and increase fuel efficiency. However, the zinc coating on AHSS can cause liquid metal embrittlement (LME) cracking during resistance spot welding.

steel research international, Volume 92, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021 The widely observed microcracking of ZnFe‐coated press hardening steels (e.g., 22MnB5) can be minimized with the help of the improved hardenability of steel (e.g., 22MnMoB), which enables hot forming at exceptionally low hot forming temperatures of 550 °C or below. The cracking behavior can be connected with the metal‐induced embrittlement (MIE), which

Journal of Welding and Joining, 2022 Although the influence of weld process variables on LME cracking was known to be significant, limited studies have been conducted on the effect of process variables with systematic approaches in the equivalent nugget growth behavior and heat input. This study aimed to identify the effect of weld process variables on LME sensitivity with the equivalent ...

Bending Behavior of Zinc‐Coated Hot Stamping Steels
steel research international, Volume 92, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021 The bending behavior of zinc‐coated martensitic steels produced via two different cooling routes, namely, with and without precooling, is investigated. Precooling leads to the formation of individual ferrite grains within the martensitic matrix in the near‐surface regions.

Effect of type-C liquid metal embrittlement on mechanical properties of spot-welded TRIP steel
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021 Type-C liquid metal embrittlement (LME) crack refers to an internal crack in the heat-affected zone near the notch area. In contrast to type-A and type-B LME, the type-C LME has rarely been studied for its effect on the mechanical properties of the metal.

Metals, 2023 Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) in Zn-based coating plates during hot stamping is an abnormal phenomenon where intimate contact between liquid Zn and a steel matrix results in the penetration of liquid Zn into the matrix, causing ruptures.
