“A Review of Liquid Metal Embrittlement: Cracking Open the Disparate Mechanisms”

This comprehensive review explores LME, which occurs when a liquid metal weakens or degrades a solid metal.

It discusses experimentally observed dependencies on environmental and metallurgical factors.

The article briefly covers proposed mechanisms to explain LME behavior.

"A Review of Recent Advances in the Understanding of Liquid Metal Embrittlement"

This paper discusses recent advances in modelling and testing LME since 2000. Specific solid - liquid systems (including steel exposed to molten lead-bismuth and aluminum - gallium) are reviewed. Relationships between various studies are considered and the need for careful test protocols is emphasized. The individual effects of wetting, crack initiation and propagation are discussed. Finally, mechanisms of liquid metal embrittlement including interatomic and mass-transport based phenomena are analyzed.
