Intrinsic diffusivities and the Kirkendall effect were investigated in the Ni-Pd and Fe-Pd solid solution systems at 900 to 1200C, and 1100C, respectively (tables 20 to 25, figures 17 and 18). Couple techniques were used, including incremental and multi-foil types. A theoretical analysis of the Kirkendall effect was performed for a binary solid solution system. It was demonstrated that, depending upon the relative mobilities of the components in different parts of the interaction zone of binary diffusion couples, the appearance of 2 or more Kirkendall planes was to be expected. This phenomenon was predicted, and observed, in multi-phase Ni-Ti diffusion couple. It was not observed in experiments on single-phase Ni-Pd and Fe-Pd systems.
