Dissolution mechanism of solid nickel in liquid zinc saturated with Fe

The dissolution behavior of solid nickel in static liquid zinc saturated with Fe at 723 K was studied. The results show that when immersing solid Ni in liquid Zn saturated with Fe, the intermetallic compound layers consisted of γ and δ phases are formed on nickel substrate, which is the same as that in liquid pure zinc. However, some F2 particles are formed in the liquid near the solid/liquid interface. These Г2 particles can easily heterogeneously nucleate on （particles and grow fast. The dissolution process is governed by diffusion of nickel atom across a concentration boundary layer in liquid Zn saturated with Fe, and is different from a mixed control mechanism of nickel in liquid pure zinc. The participation of Г2 particles makes the dissolution of solid Ni in the liquid accelerated.
