乡亲们
金通常用于保护其他金属免受腐蚀。金的抗腐蚀性很强,因此,在立体声或 HDMI 连接器等对接触电阻要求很高的场合,金会被镀在铜等金属上。您可能看过在沉船中发现的金币照片。这些金币在盐水中浸泡了数百年,看起来依然完好无损。黄金的熔点也相对较高,达到1064摄氏度。
So, it would seem that gold is invincible. However, mercury at room temperature will dissolve gold. See this interesting video that shows this effect. This property of low- temperature melting metals dissolving high-temperature melting metals at lower temperatures is one of the principles behind Indium Corporation’ s DurafuseTM. See Figure 1.

金属镓与铝具有这种特性。请看这段镓溶解汽水罐的滑稽 视频。镓在略高于室温(约30摄氏度)时呈液态,具有许多有趣的特性。见图 2。

图 2.镓是一种有趣的金属。它无毒,熔点略高于室温。请点击此链接观看视频。
Indium Corporation is working with Professor Michael Dickey of North Carolina State University to investigate these properties. It is expected that numerous useful applications will come from this work.
