Abstract

The electric mobilities, effective valences, and diffusivities of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in β-titanium were measured in the temperature range of 1335 to 1575°C. The effective valence, Z*, of carbon was determined to be positive and nitrogen and oxygen to be negative, thus confirming a previously reported anomaly in the electrotransport behavior of carbon in titanium. A similar anomaly in the effective charge of nitrogen in γ iron was also investigated. The previously reported negativeZ* value was not supported by the results of this investigation. PositiveZ* values were obtained for nitrogen in both α and γ iron in agreement with those for carbon in these two phases. An analytical method of solving for the various transport parameters was used in this investigation. A mathematical proof of the method and the treatment of errors is described in the paper.
