Abstract

Experimental data from microwave postdischarge nitriding during growth of a γ′ layer have been used to estimate the diffusion coefficient of nitrogen in γ′-Fe4N1-x. Based on a model obtained from a mass balance and considering thermodynamic equilibrium at the γ′/α interface during growth, a self-diffusivity of nitrogen in γ′ was obtained: Dγ′N = 3.83 × 10-10exp(-93 500 J/RT) (m2 s-1), for 773 K<T<843 K.
