The interaction of pure zinc and Zn–4Al, Zn–15Al (wt-%) solder alloys with aluminium has been investigated. Two different experimental techniques were used: (i) the aluminium samples soldering and (ii) the holding of liquid solder alloys inside the hollow in an aluminium base. The aluminium content was determined in samples after contact with aluminium at various temperatures and various holding times. It is shown that in soldered seams and solder alloys that had been held inside the aluminium base, the content of the aluminium was higher than at the points on the liquidus line on the Zn–Al equilibrium phase diagram at the corresponding temperatures and increases along with an increase in the holding time. This was apparently due to isothermal solidification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
