Caption

A schematic illustration that represents the dealloying bonding of iron and magnesium. Firstly, the iron-nickel layer is bonded on the top of the iron. Subsequently, Mg is attached and heated. Then, the dealloying reaction of nickel elements selectively diffuses into magnesium. Meanwhile, the developing bicontinuous structure of iron and magnesium occurs. Due to the anchor effect of such a structure, iron and magnesium were strongly bonded even though they are immiscible.
