| Research Abstract |
So far, most of experimental studies on self-diffusion in the Fe-Cr binary alloys have been limited in the Fe-rich solid solution range less than 20at%Cr. Recently, Abiko and coworkers have found that the ductility of a Fe-50mass% Cr alloy is remarkably improved by purification. This remarkable improvement of mechanical properties of the high purity Fe-50Cr alloy stimulates us to study the diffusion of the alloy. In the present work, the volume and grain-boundary self-diffusion coefficients in the high purity Fe-50-60 mass% Cr alloys and Fe-50mass%Cr-8mass%W alloys have been determined. The experimental results are summarized as follows:
(1) Linear Arrhenius relations for the volume self-diffusion of both components in the Fe-50mass%Cr alloy have been observed across the transformation temperature of the σ phase, suggesting that there is little σ phase in the alloy and that it gives negligible influence on the volume diffusion.
(2) Downward curved Arrhenius lines for the grain boundary diffusivity sδD_<gh> of both tracers in the Fe-50mass%Cr alloy have been observed. This is attributed to the formation of very thin layer of the (Cr,Fe)_<2.3>C_6 phase at the grain boundary near the surface of the specimens.
(3) Volume diffusion coefficients of Cr and Fe in a high-purity Fe-50mass%Cr-8mass%W alloy in the temperature range from 1023 to 1323 K are smaller than those in a high purity Fe-50mass%Cr alloy.
(4) Grain-boundary diffusivities of Cr and Fe in the high-purity Fe-50mass%Cr-8mass%W alloy are smaller than those in a high-purity Fe-50mass%Cr alloy.
