7. Some applications of diffusion phenomena
The study of solid-state diffusion has improved our understanding of a large number of phenomena, both fundamental and applied, a few examples of which are given below.
7.1 Basic studies in metallurgy and physics
7.1.1 Decomposition and precipitation in solid solution
A typical example is the decomposition of austenite in carbon steels, which, depending on the cooling rate from the γ range, corresponds to different mechanisms, which may or may not allow diffusion to occur (pearlitic, bainitic, martensitic...
