Abstract: | The explicit finite difference form of the diffusion equation has been used to describe a two-phase binary diffusion problem
which includes a constant surface flux boundary condition, a concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient, and dimensional
change due to both additions of material and nonideal solution behavior. The ξγ coordinate system, containing an equal number of mols of the substrate component per increment, has been employed to simplify
the mathematical form of the diffusion equation. At the two-phase interface a Lagrangian extrapolation has been employed in
conjunction with the finite difference equations to determine solute concentration and flux as well as interface movement.
Results of sample calculations for the α and β phases formed when a constant flux of aluminum is admitted to a copper surface
at 850°C are presented graphically. Results include concentration profiles, surface concentration as a function of time, and
movement of theα-β interface for a flat plate and for a cylinder. This treatment is applicable to any two-phase binary system wherein the arrival
rate of solute atoms at the solvent surface, either by ionic transport in high-temperature electrodiffusion cells or from
the vapor phase, is equal to the diffusion rate into the surface. |
