Abstract
Interfacial reaction between solid Co and liquid Al was investigated with immersion tests and theoretical modeling. The microstructure characterization indicated that a Co2Al5 intermetallic layer was formed at solid-liquid interface during the immersion test. The modeling results indicated that the corrosion rate of a solid metal in a liquid metal was controlled by both the formation and dissolution of the intermetallic layer. In Co-Al reaction system, the formation and dissolution of the Co2Al5 layer reached an equilibrium state in a very short time, and the corrosion of the Co matrix was mainly dominated by the dissolution of the Co2Al5 layer.
