Abstract

The V-Al system between 16 and 39 at. pet Al was studied at 1400°C under pressures of 0, 30, and 47 kbar. Electron microprobe analysis, X-ray diffraction, microhardness readings, and metallographic examination revealed only a single solid solution. Inter diffusion coefficients were determined as a function of composition and pressure. Concentration gradients were measured with an electron microprobe analyzer and the diffusion coefficients were calculated by the Matano analysis. At 1400°C, the value of the interdiffusion coefficient varied from 1 to 12 × 10-9 sq cm per s, increasing with aluminum content and decreasing with increasing pressure.
