3. Atomic diffusion
The laws and mechanisms of diffusion are discussed in greater detail in the article Diffusion in metals. . In what follows, we will focus on the physical and microscopic origins of diffusion phenomena, drawing on the data in the previous paragraphs.
3.1 General
If a solid solution A 1 – c B c , separated by a surface into two areas of different concentrations, is heated for a sufficiently long time, progressive homogenization is observed: c decreases in the initially B-rich area and...
