Abstract

The interdiffusion behavior of BCC alloys of Ti-Sn binary and Ti-Al-Sn ternary was investigated at 1473 K (1200 °C) by the diffusion-couple technique. The extracted interdiffusion coefficients of Ti-Sn binary was found to gradually increase with increasing the Sn content, whereas those of Ti-Al-Sn ternary, either main or cross, greatly enhance as the content of diffusing species increases. By a way of comparison, Sn diffusion in Ti-Al-Sn ternary was discerned to occur by the vacancy mechanism.
