Abstract

The distribution of arsenic in various diffusion couples of high purity iron-arsenic alloys (0.6 to 4.6 at. % As) was measured by a micro-probe analyser, following a diffusion annealing treatment at 950 to 1380‡ C. The results show that the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient of arsenic in α- and γ-iron may be represented by the following equations:

$$\begin{gathered} D_\alpha = 4.3 exp ( - 52 500/RT)cm^2 \sec ^{ - 1} \hfill \\ D_\gamma = 0.58\exp ( - 58 900/RT)cm^2 sec^{ - 1} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$
