Abstract

The interdiffusion coefficients in bcc (α) and fcc (γ) Fe-Ni alloys below their Curie temperatures have been calculated based on the magnetic contribution to the free energy for interdiffusion. The free energy for interdiffusion due to magnetic ordering in bcc Fe-Ni alloys is positive. The calculated interdiffusion coefficients in bcc Fe-Ni alloys fit the experimental data quite well. In fcc Fe-Ni alloys, the magnetic contribution to interdiffusion depends on both temperature and composition and is abnormal for Ni compositions in the Invar region. The free energy of vacancy formation is positive and the free energy of vacancy migration is negative, due to the effect of magnetic ordering. The interdiffusion coefficient in the ferromagnetic phase is lower than that extrapolated from the paramagnetic phase for Ni compositions of 50 at. pct and greater and is higher than that extrapolated from the paramagnetic phase for Ni compositions of 40 at. pct and lower.
