| contents | Until recently, it was textbook knowledge that the diffusion coefficients could not be estimated in a multi-component system following the widely practised diffusion couple method. The recently proposed constrained diffusion couple methods need two intersecting diffusion paths in a multi-component space with very well-controlled compositions of the diffusion couple end members, which may be tricky depending on the complications of diffusion paths in certain systems. In this study, we have proposed a method for estimating all types of diffusion coefficients directly at the Kirkendall marker plane from a single diffusion couple. The estimation method and design strategy for producing diffusion couples are discussed in concentrated ternary Ni-Co-Fe, Fe-rich quaternary Fe-Ni-Co-Cr and Ni-rich Ni-Co-Fe-Cr-Al quinary alloys. As demonstrated further, one can even estimate the impurity diffusion coefficients utilizing the composition profiles at the ends of the diffusion couples, which has been rarely practised in multicomponent systems until now. We have further demonstrated the importance of estimating the tracer and intrinsic diffusion coefficients in a concentrated or multi-principal element alloy in which interdiffusion coefficients can be vague and misleading for understanding the elements' diffusional interactions and relative mobilities. We have also shown the importance of considering the vacancy wind effect in concentrated alloys. The method and design strategy of producing diffusion couples demonstrated in this study can be suitable for generating a mobility database in Ni-, Co-based (superalloys) and Fe-based (steel) multicomponent systems with relative ease, which was considered impossible until recently. |
