Title: Interdiffusion in the body cubic centered. beta. -phase of titanium-hafnium alloys

Journal Article · · Acta Metall.; (United States)

Interdiffusion has been studied between 1000 and 2000/sup 0/C. The concentration dependence of the interdiffusion coefficients is small. With temperature, they show an anomalous behaviour characteristic of diffusion in b.c.c. metals and alloys. The high temperature activation energy (175 kJ/mol) is greater than the low temperature one near the BETA ..-->.. ..cap alpha.. transformation (120 kJ/mol). Diffusion coefficients at infinite dilution and the influence of zirconium impurities are specified. No Kirkendall effect was seen in these alloys.
