Diffusion Coefficient of Nickel in Ni₂Al₃ Intermetallic Compound

Abstract:

Nickel alloys have been widely used for high temperature applications such as gas turbine engine, turbine blade and many high temperature resistance components. Aluminizing is one of effective to increase oxidation resistant of nickel alloys by forming nickel aluminide compounds on nickel surface. Nickel aluminide is formed by the diffusion mechanism. This research aims to study the diffusion behavior of nickel in Ni₂Al₃ compound. The diffusion coefficient is determined using Ni/Al diffusion couple forming Ni₂Al₃ and NiAl₃ phases. The temperatures under study are 873, 973, and 1073 K, which are at above and below melting point of aluminum. Determination of diffusion coefficient of Ni in Ni₂Al₃ is from mass balance concept: flux difference at interphase causes accumulation of atoms in compound layer, which as be derived as: dx_αβ/dt = [1/(n^β-n^α)] * [D_α*(dn^α/dx) - D_β*(dn^β/dx)] From this equation, diffusion coefficient of Ni in Ni₂Al₃ at 873 and 1073 K are calculated as 6.243×10^-11 and 6.82×10^-9 m²/s, respectively. From Arrhenius equation of diffusivity, D = D_oexp (-Q/RT), the activation energy for diffusion of nickel in Ni₂Al₃ is found to be 183 kJ/mol. The result obtained in this research is of great use in controlling aluminizing process.
