Abstract

A numerical inverse method is used to calculate concentration dependency of interdiffusion coefficient under a condition of pre-existing non-uniform solute distribution, which is impossible to do by standard techniques including the Boltzmann–Matano, Sauer–Freise, Hall, and Wagner methods. The results show that in contrast to what has been implicitly assumed in the literature, “calculation-error-free” concentration-dependent interdiffusion coefficient can be significantly influenced by non-uniform solute distribution that pre-exists in a material prior to a diffusion process. In such cases, the use of concentration-dependent interdiffusion coefficient obtained by the standard techniques, such as, the Boltzmann–Matano, Sauer–Freise, Hall, and Wagner methods, to model, predict or analyze diffusion effects during multi-stage materials processing, such as, sintering, brazing, coating and heat treatments, can be considerably unreliable.
