The diffusion coefficients for the Ib metal in the -phase were determined, at 980 to 1120K, by extrapolating the concentration dependences of interdiffusion coefficients to infinite dilution. The results could be described by:

D(cm2/s) = 2.5 x 10-4exp[-44.8(kcal/mol)/RT]

A linear relationship was observed between the logarithm of the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy.
