On the basis of measurements of zero creep in fine. wires of Ti-5Al-2.5wt%Sn at 1377 to 1583K, the self-diffusion coefficient (table 296) was found to be described by:

D(m2/s) = 5.7 x 10-6 exp[-182(kJ/mol)/RT]

The results of the study were in reasonable agreement with data arising from similar studies of Ti and Ti alloys.
