Abstract

In the paper critical role of including the right material parameters, as input values for computer modelling, is stressed. The presented model of diffusion, based on chemical potential gradient, in order to perform calculations, requires a parameter called mobility, which can be calculated using the diffusion coefficient. When analysing the diffusion problem, it is a common practice to assume the diffusion coefficient to be a constant within the range of temperature and chemical composition considered. By doing so the calculations are considerably simplified at the cost of the accuracy of the results. In order to make a reasoned decision, whether this simplification is desirable for particular systems and conditions, its impact on the accuracy of calculations needs to be assessed. The paper presents such evaluation by comparing results of modelling with a constant value of diffusion coefficient to results where the dependency of Di on temperature, chemical composition or both are added. The results show how a given deviation of diffusivity is correlated with the change in the final results. Simulations were performed in a single dimension for the FCC phase in Fe-C, Fe-Si and Fe-Mn systems. Different initial compositions and temperature profiles were used.
