Abstract
The equilibrated grain boundary groove shapes for solid Zn in equilibrium with the ZnMg eutectic liquid were observed on rapidly quenched samples. The Gibbs-Thomson coef.cient for the solid Zn has been determined to be (10.64 ± 0.43) × 10 -8 K m from the observed grain boundary groove shapes with the present numerical model, and the solid-liquid interfacial energy for the solid Zn in equilibrium with the ZnMg eutectic liquid has been obtained to be (89.16 ± 8.02) × 10 -3 J m -2 from the Gibbs-Thomson equation. The grain boundary energy for the solid Zn has also been calculated to be (172.97 ± 20.76) × 10 -3 J m -2 from the observed grain boundary groove shapes. © The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International 2007.
