Abstract

Isothermal, multiphase diffusion was investigated with infinite diffusion couples in the Cu-Ni-Zn system at 775°C. The couples were assembled with disks of a β (bcc) ternary alloy sandwiched between disks of selected binary, Cu-Ni α (fcc)alloys and were annealed for 2 hr to 2 days. The diffusion structures were investigated metallographically and by electron probe analysis. The couples developed multiphase structures that showed transitions from planar interfaces to nonplanar morphologies with changes in composition of the α -terminal alloys. The various structures are described by the aid of composition paths. The velocity of planar interfaces is discussed in terms of intrinsic fluxes in the adjacent phases.
