Abstract
Liquid-metal-mediated recrystallization is a poorly understood facet of liquid metal embrittlement that has never before been the subject of systematic study. In this work, commercially pure Zn sheet with varied grain size and amount of prior deformation is exposed to liquid eutectic Ga-In, and the resulting microstructural evolution is characterized. The penetration rate of the liquid into the grain boundary network is observed to be strongly dependent on grain size, with little or no dependence on prior deformation. However, the extent of recrystallization and the accompanying evolution of crystallographic and morphologic texture is strongly dependent on prior deformation.
