This program has been directed at the nature and cause of the severe embrittlement and loss of load carrying, capability that occurs in certain solid metals in contact with some liquid metals. This three-year program began March 1, 1987, and, during its course, has involved a set of fracture mechanics experiments to explore the response of several alloy/liquid metal systems coupled with a more theoretical study consisting of atomic simulation of the crack tip separation process. Some of the information generated in this study is contained in papers published or submitted for publication and accompanying, this report. This report is an overview of information contained in these papers as well as information currently in preparation for publication.
