Abstract
The quantification of liquid metal embrittling effects of mercury on thermally sprayed aluminum was investigated. The program consisted of heat treatments at 250 and 300°C of thermally sprayed (aluminum on lead) cylinders with mercury additions of 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, and 3.00wt.%. The cylinders were then tested to determine the adhesion/cohesion strength of the thermally sprayed bond. The Pb/Al interfaces were evaluated using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results of the testing indicate that there was no noticeable embrittling effects of the mercury, up to 3.0wt.% Hg in the Pb matrix. Published by Elsevier Science Inc.
