Abstract

A simulation model for intrinsic diffusion of multicomponent multiphase systems is presented. The model is not restricted onto a certain number of components or phases. For simplicity, Manning's random alloy model with vanishing vacancy wind effect is used. Then the cross terms of the diffusion flux can be neglected. The simulation routine uses equations for the fluxes, the equation of continuity and an equation for the change of the thickness of volume elements due to the vacancy flux. With this model diffusions paths, concentration profiles, fluxes of the components as well as marker positions can be calculated. The shift of interfaces and the growth of new phases can also be determined. The simulation results were compared with experimental data of the Cu-Fe-Ni system. Diffusion was studied in single-phase areas and across interfaces.
