Abstract

Interdiffusion in Ti-Al-Mo β solid solution was investigated at 1523 K (1250 °C) by analyzing diffusion couples. From the concentration profiles analytically represented by error function expansion (ERFEX), the ternary interdiffusion coefficients and impurity diffusivity were extracted by the Whittle–Green and generalized Hall methods. A comparison of the diffusion in five Ti-Al-X (Co, Cr, Fe, Mo, and V) ternaries reveals Ti-Al-Mo is comparably like Ti-Al-(Cr, V) while Ti-Al-(Co, Fe) are predominantly of interstitial nature.
