The diffusivity of 48V in ferritic Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-C alloys, and in 2 commercial 8%Cr ferritic steels, was determined by using serial sectioning methods at 743 to 1123K (table 68). The diffusivities along high-diffusivity paths were explained in terms of the interaction of the diffusant with carbide particles.
