Abstract

Tracer diffusion of carbon in iron—vanadium alloys containing 2.45, 0.5 and 0.1 at% vanadium has been measured in a temperature range from 900 to 1325 K. No effect of magnetic transforms is observed on the C14 diffusivity in the α-stabilized Fe-2.4 at% V alloy, as has been reported for α-iron. Trapping behaviour of vanadium in slowing down the carbon diffusivity in iron shows a reasonable fit with the model predicted by Koiwa. However, the effect of these traps appears not to be felt during lowtemperature internal friction measurements in Fe-2.4 at% V alloy.
