The retrieved literature supports the claim that liquid metal interactions and corrosion with solid metals are governed by alloying, diffusion processes, and the formation of intermetallic compounds.
The retrieved papers consistently emphasize that liquid metal systems (such as gallium-based alloys) interact with solid substrates through wetting, diffusion, and the formation of intermetallic compound phases at the interface. These mechanisms directly align with the claim regarding liquid metal corrosion and solid metal reactions depending on solubility and intermetallic compound formation.
