Gaal
GaAl refers to the binary alloy system composed of gallium (Ga) and aluminum (Al). It encompasses a range of compositions from Ga-rich to Al-rich mixtures and is studied primarily within materials science and metallurgy. Because Ga and Al have limited mutual solubility, the Ga–Al system exhibits a mix of solid solutions and intermetallic phases that depend on composition and temperature. The exact phases present are determined by the overall composition and the heat treatment, with eutectic and other invariant reactions possible at specific temperatures.
Preparation of GaAl alloys typically involves melting gallium and incorporating aluminum, either as metal foil, powder,
Physical properties of GaAl alloys are highly composition-dependent and can vary widely. Some compositions may have
Applications of GaAl alloys are mainly in research and niche areas of materials science, where the phase
