Abstract

The diffusivity and solubility of oxygen in solid copper have been determined in the temperature range 700 to 1030 °C using potentiostatic and potentiometric techniques. The results are summarized by the following equations: Do Cu = 1.16-0.31 +0.42 × 10−2 exp(−67300 ± 3000/RT) cm2 per second; No s = 154 exp(−149600/RT)atom fraction of oxygen where R is in joules/degree/mole. The experimentally determined value of the pre-exponential factor in the diffusivity equation is found to be consistent with Zener’s model for an interstitial diffusion mechanism.
