Abstract
The diffusion couples composed of NiCrFe (Ni-21 at% Cr-9 at% Fe) alloy and three kinds of high entropy alloys (CoCrFeMn0.2Ni, AlxCoCrFeNi (x = 0.2 or 0.3), and CoCrCu0.2FeNi HEAs) were fabricated, and subjected to diffusion annealing at 1273, 1323, and 1373 K, respectively. The interdiffusion coefficients were calculated using electron probe technology and High-throughput Determination of Interdiffusion Coefficients (HitDIC) software, and their reliability was validated. The interdiffusion coefficients increase as the temperature increase. The diffusion coefficients of Mn, Al, and Cu atoms on HEAs side in all diffusion couples are higher than those of Fe, Co, and Ni in the corresponding diffusion couples, and Al has the lower diffusion coefficient than Co, Cr, and Fe on NiCrFe side in AlxCoCrFeNi/NiCrFe diffusion couples. Furthermore, based on the interdiffusion coefficients at three different temperatures, the diffusion activation energies of atoms were also analyzed.
期刊介绍:
The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference.
