Abstract

A multicomponent diffusion mobility database for the Ni-rich fcc phase [2002Cam] is evaluated by comparing diffusion simulations to two experimental multicomponent Ni-base superalloy diffusion couples, Ni/Rene-88 and IN718/Rene-88. The diffusion simulations use composition-dependent thermodynamic and diffusion quantities with a finite difference code to simulate single phase and multiphase planar layers. The multiphase layers consist of a matrix phase and a disperse phase. The calculated composition profiles, interdiffusion coefficients, phase fraction profiles and location of Kirdendall porosity are compared to experimental results. To treat diffusion in the IN718 alloy, iron and carbon are added to the existing diffusion mobility database using previous assessment work and adding the Fe-Al and Fe-Co assessments.
