Diffusion coefficient (D) describes rate at which atoms/molecules move through material; temperature-dependent (Arrhenius).
Formel
Calculate D = D₀ exp(-Ea/kT)
- D
- D₀ exp(-Ea/kT) — D₀ exp(-Ea/kT)
- Ea
- Ea value — Variable used in the calculation
Steg-för-steg-guide
- 1Input temperature, activation energy, pre-exponential factor
- 2Calculate D = D₀ exp(-Ea/kT)
- 3Results show diffusion rate at given temp
Lösta exempel
Ingång
Carbon in steel at 800°C
Resultat
D ≈ 10⁻¹² m²/s (extremely slow at room temp, faster when hot)
Vanliga misstag att undvika
- ✕Using wrong temperature (K not °C)
- ✕Neglecting Arrhenius relationship
Vanliga frågor
Why is diffusion important?
Controls carburizing, doping, sintering, creep; essential for heat-treatment design.
