Interdiffusion experiments are usually time-consuming and tedious since diffusion couples must be annealed at several temperatures for a long time. The efforts required to study interdiffusion in multicomponent alloys increase dramatically as multiple diffusion couples are required to cover broad composition ranges and determine the diffusivities of individual elements in different chemical environments. To circumvent this challenge, we present a high-throughput approach applicable to single-phase and compositionally complex alloys, which are assumed to approximate ideal solid solutions. Here, a simple diffusion-multiple experiment combined with a physically based kinetic model is proposed to efficiently determine the diffusion coefficients of the constituent elements in quaternary CrFeCoNi alloys. Compared with tracer diffusivities reported in the literature, the results, thus, obtained do not differ by more than a factor of 2 and were obtained from a single interdiffusion experiment. In contrast, the diffusivities simulated with commercial mobility and thermodynamic databases are strongly overestimated by a factor ranging from 1 to 16. Therefore, our approach enables high-throughput determination of diffusivities and can help in the design of alloys for high-temperature applications where diffusion plays a key role.
