Interdiffusion Between Mo and TiAl

Abstract

ABSTRACTDiffusion couple experiments were carried out for Mo/γ-TiAl at 900, 1000 and 1100°C for periods of time ranging from 121 to 553 hrs. Using the Boltzmann-Matano analysis, the two diagonal interdiffusion coefficients for the two phases formed in these couples were obtained assuming the cross diagonal terms to be negligible. These two phases are δ-(Mo, Ti)3Al and β-(Mo,Al)Ti. The three intrinsic diffusion coefficients were also obtained using the Darken-type relationships between the interdiffusion and intrinsic diffusion coefficients. The calculated interdiffusion coefficients from the three intrinsic diffusion coefficients are in reasonable accord with those obtained directly from the Boltzmann-Matano analysis.
