Commercial zone refining processes may therefore involve a large number of passes done one after the other (Fig 4.7) This obviously adds a lot to the cost of the pure material, but the process can be speeded ... Introduction Whenever you have to report on the structure of an alloy – because it is a possible design choice, or because it has mysteriously failed in service – the first thing you should is reach...
... because each process is pushed along by a driving force Now, the mere fact of having a driving force does not guarantee that a change will occur There must also be a route that the process can ... can only this if the route for the process – atomic diffusion – is fast enough At high temperature, with plenty of thermal energy for diffusion, the doping process will be fast; but at low temperature ... we show that driving forces can be expressed in terms of simple thermodynamic quantities, and we illustrate this by calculating driving forces for some typical processes like solidification, changes...
