Numerical Analysis for the Behavior of Multiple Markers in Multiple Phase Diffusion Couples

Abstract

The movement of multiple markers (M-M) embedded in a multiple phases diffusion couple (M-couple) has been numerically analyzed for binary two phases models taking the molar volume change effect to the diffusion direction into account. From the results obtained by this analysis the places where vacancies are annihilated or generated can be visualized. It has been clarified that a part of M-M is necessarily shown by a linear line due to parabolic movement of the inter-phase interface. Some other interesting results obtained in this study will be reported.
