The diffusivities of 181W in ferritic Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-C alloys, and in 2 commercial 8%Cr ferritic steels, were determined by using serial sectioning methods at 743 to 1123K (table 71). The diffusivities along high-diffusivity paths were explained in terms of the basis of interactions of the diffusant with carbide particles.J.Čermák, J.Ruzicková, A.Pokorná: Acta Materialia, 1996, 44[12], 5007-19
