Diffusion in Solids
ISSUES TO ADDRESS...
• How does diffusion occur?
Diffusion
Mechanisms
Gases & Liquids – random (Brownian) motion
Solids – vacancy diffusion or interstitial diffusion
There must be an empty adjacent site
The atom must have sufficient energy to break bonds with its neighbor atoms and
then cause some lattice distortion during the displacement

Self Diffusion
In fact, the atoms in solid materials are in constant motion, rapidly changing
positions.

Diffusion Mechanisms
Vacancy Diffusion:
• atoms exchange with vacancies
• applies to substitutional impurities atoms
• rate depends on:
--number of vacancies
--activation energy to exchange.
Diffusion Mechanisms
Interstitial
diffusion – smaller atoms can diffuse
between atoms.
• Case Hardening:

We must now determine from Table 5.1 the value of z for which the error
function is 0.4210. Once we have z, we can find t.
