The diffusivities (table 126) were determined by using radiotracer techniques. It was found that the diffusivity of Fe at 850C was equal to 2 x 10-14cm2/s and was independent of the N content. The diffusion values for Na at 690C decreased from 5.89 x 10-13 to 1.74 x 10-13 cm2/s upon increasing the N content from 4.12 to 8.09at%.
