Summary
The principal diffusion constants of carbon — the preexponential factor D0 and the energy of activation of the process, Q — have been determined with the aid of the isotope C14.
As a result of annealing for 3.5 h in the temperature range 1100–1450°C, carbon was found to penetrate into tungsten and molybdenum to depths of 5 and 40 μ, respectively.
