    Chapter 6 DIFFUSION IN SOLIDS • How does diffusion occur? • Why is it an important part of processing? • How can the rate of diffusion be predicted for some simple cases? • How does diffusion depend on structure and temperature? Driving force for movement In general‚ force is a position derivative of energy (F = - dE/dr). In other words‚ if there is any energy difference in space‚ there is a force which will act on matters - Force will move things. (ex1) Potential energy by gravity:

    Engineering Materials Week 3 5.1 Briefly explain the difference between self-diffusion and interdiffusion. Self-diffusion refers to movement of atoms within a pure material; interdiffusion refers to the movement of one or more kind of atoms in a heterogeneous system. 5.7 A sheet of steel 2.5mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 900C and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. The diffusion coefficient of nitrogen in steel at 900 C is 1.2 10^-10 m^2/s‚ and the diffusion
