SELF DIFFUSION IN IRON

Journal Article · · Acta Met.

Self-diffusion in high-purity iron (99.97% Fe) is determined over the temperature range from 700 to 1436 deg C. The temperature dependence of the self- diffusion coefficient in face-centered cubic and in body-centered cubic iron can be expressed as follows (in cm/sup 2//sec): gammairon, D = 0.18 exp (-64,500/RT); alpha-iron (paramagnetic), D = 1.9 exp (-57,200/RT); above 790 deg C; and alphairon (ferromagnetic), D = 2.0 exp (-6O,000/RT); below 750 deg C. The diffusivity below the magnetic transformation is lower than expected from an extrapolation of the diffusion data for paramagnetic alpha-iron. (auth)
