Grain boundary wetting transitions were previously observed in the Al–Mg system. The melting of as-cast Al–5 wt% Mg and Al–10 wt% Mg alloys was studied by the differential scanning calorimetry. The asymmetric shape of the melting curve permitted the observation of the thermal effect of grain boundar...
