The isothermal corrosion testing and microscopic examination of Ni3Al alloy in liquid zinc containing small amounts of aluminum (mass fraction less than 0.2%) at 450 ℃ were carried out. The results show that the controlling mechanism of the dissolution reaction is diffusion through a boundary layer into liquid zinc. For two-phase alloy, Ni3Al alloy (γ+γ), the interface between dissolving solid and liquid remains remarkably planar and the difference in dissolution of the two adjacent phases (γ+γ) can not be experimentally observed. The boundaries between γ phase and γ phase play no perceptible role in the dissolution of Ni3Al alloy in liquid zinc. The X-ray diffraction spectra of the diffusion layer confirm the presence of Ni5Zn21. The corrosion rate of the Ni3Al alloy in molten zinc was calculated to be approximately 2.6×10-3 g/(cm2-h), therefore the liquid zinc corrosion resistance of Ni3Al alloy is very weak.
