Factors affecting diffusion rates 1.Concentration Gradient—driving force 2.Diffusing species & host material 3.Temperature
Diffusing Host MetalT( o C)D (m 2 /s) species Fe -Fe (BCC) x Fe -Fe (BCC) x Fe -Fe (FCC) x Fe -Fe (FCC) x Which diffuses faster? A.Fe through -Fe at 500 o C B.Fe through -Fe at 900 o C C.Fe through -Fe at 500 o C D.Fe through -Fe at 900 o C
How does diffusion affect material properties?
Brass = Alloy of Copper and Zinc
Bras s Copp er Zinc Brass = Stronger than either Copper or Zinc Explanation in Chapter 7
City Steel Heat Treating Co. Solid Diffusion Hardening: Case Hardening Hard Case w/ tough core Low-C Steels (> 0.30% C): Carburizing, Nitriding, Carbonitriding Carburized depth of ” to ” in °F
What happens in the case: Steel = C + Fe Add more C to the outer surface. Interstitial C imposes lattice strains in Fe Strains near dislocations can bind atoms and reduce deformation (see Ch. 7)

Plastic Deformation: Permanent
plastic (adj.) 1630s, "capable of shaping or molding" from L. plasticus, from Gk. plastikos "able to be molded, pertaining to molding,"
plastic (adj.) Main modern meaning, "synthetic product made from oil derivatives," first recorded 1909, coined by Leo Baekeland (see bakelite). Picked up in counterculture slang as an adj. meaning "false, superficial" (1963).
