Abstract
The oxide layers on the surface of aluminum metal and the aluminum alloys AD-1 and A-5 have been studied by attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy. The Al-O and Al-OH surface vibrational modes and A-O modes of the AlO4 and AlO6 groups have been identified. The structural inhomogeneity of the surface oxide layers is shown to contribute to their disruption when the sample is brought into contact with the liquid In-Ga eutectic. In situ scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis have been used to follow the dynamics of oxide layer disruption and the morphological and compositional changes in the eutectic alloy and the surface layer of aluminum.
