Gallium rotting other metals[edit]
There's various YouTube demonstrations (e.g.) of liquid Ga soaking into other metals and weakening them till they fall apart - particularly aluminium, but others also. Is there anything we could use to source and mention this? I was surprised not to see it in the article - David Gerard (talk) 15:02, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- I have seen those videos, too. Maybe if we could find and article or something online that would work. 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 01:37, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- It's discussed in the second paragraph of Gallium#Physical_properties and has some references. I just added a link to liquid metal embrittlement as well. Hope that answers your suggestion. –MadeOfAtoms (talk) 04:31, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- @MadeOfAtoms: They are looking for a freely licensed image or video of this reaction, or else a YouTube video that can be added as an external link. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:05, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
