By applying a controlled amount of gallium (3 mg or 5 mg) to double-notched samples, the effects of the gallium on the grain boundary chemistry and tensile properties of AA6061-T4 alloy were investigated. Commercial-purity aluminum AA1050 was used for comparison to determine whether alloying elements would correlate with Ga-induced embrittlement and to elucidate the physical reason that governed the occurrence of intergranular fracture in the AA6061 Al-Mg-Si alloy. The AA6061 and AA1050 samples wetted by 3 mg or 5 mg of Ga were held statically for 7 days before tensile tests were conducted. The 6061 Al-Mg-Si samples with gallium were fractured intergranularly. However, the Ga-treated AA1050 samples had a mixed fracture mode, showing better strength and ductility than the Ga-treated AA6061 alloy, independent of whether the samples had their longitudinal axis parallel or perpendicular to the rolling direction, or the holding temperatures before tensile tests. Auger electron spectroscopy scanning the intergranular facets on fracture surfaces showed that the Auger peak-to-peak ratio I-Ga/I-Al of 6061 samples was similar to that of 1050 samples, but the high intensity of Mg signal was detected from the intergranular fracture surface of the AA6061 alloy. Magnesium being induced by Ga to enrich on the grain boundary and free surface of the AA6061 alloy was confirmed. The intergranular embrittlement of the 6061 T4 Al-Mg-Si alloy wetted by small amount of Ga involves the combination of the following two effects: Ga metal on grain boundary embrittlement, and Ga-induced magnesium enrichment on grain boundary that further decreases the strength of the grain boundary.
