Abstract

AbstractWhen two alloys are placed in contact to form a diffusion couple, the microstructure that forms on heating is a function of alloy composition. This function can be illustrated on a phase diagram as an “Interdiffusion Microstructure Map” (IMM). An IMM was determined in the present work for Ni-Cr-Al diffusion couples at 1200°C. The couples consisted of one γ+γ' alloy bonded to a number of γ+β alloys. The IMM contained five fields corresponding to five different microstructures. The fields met at a five-line node, giving the map an unexpected topology. The IMM topology was deduced by considering the transition microstructures and kinetic equations that lead to the formation of interdiffusion microstructures.
