Abstract
A single σ-phase alloy with a composition of Cr 46 Mn 15.2 Fe 16.3 Co 17 Ni 5.5 (at.%) and a tetragonal lattice structure was produced. The tracer diffusion coefficients of Ni and Fe were measured by secondary electron mass spectroscopy using the highly enriched 64 Ni and 58 Fe natural isotopes. On the homologous temperature scale, Ni and Fe diffuse in the σ-phase faster as compared to the corresponding diffusion rates in the equiatomic and face-centered cubic CoCrFeMnNi alloy. In contrast, on the absolute temperature scale, these elements diffuse roughly at the same rates in both materials. Factors influencing element diffusion and phase stability of the σ-phase compared to the equiatomic alloy are discussed.
