Compute Heat Treatment Temperature

The document describes a diffusion problem involving a silver-gold alloy couple heated to an unknown temperature. It is given that after 850 seconds, the concentration of silver had increased to 12% by weight at a distance of 10 micrometers into the alloy from the interface. Using the preexponential and activation energy values provided, as well as the concentration data and Equation 5.15, the temperature of the heat treatment is calculated to be 1010K or 737°C.

5.18 Consider a diffusion couple between silver and a gold alloy that contains 10 wt% silver.

This
couple is heat treated at an elevated temperature and it was found that after 850 s the concentration
of silver had increased to 12 wt% at 10 m from the interface into the Ag-Au alloy. Assuming
preexponential and activation energy values of 7.2 10-6 m2/s and 168,000 J/mol, compute the
temperature of this heat treatment. (Note: you may find Figure 5.13 and Equation 5.15 helpful.)

Solution

This problem calls for us to determine the value of time t in Equation 5.15 given the following
values:

C1 = 100 wt% Ag
C2 = 10 wt Ag
Cx = 12 wt% Ag
t = 850 s
x = 10 m = 10 10-6 m
D0 = 7.2 10-6 m2/s
Qd = 168,000 J/mol.

We first of all substitute values for all of the above parametersexcept for D0 and Qd. This leads to
the following expressions: This equation reduces to the following: Or It is now necessary to
determine using the data in Table 5.1 the value of z for which the error function has a value of
0.9556. This requires an interpolation using the following data: z erf(z) 1.4 0.9523 z 0.9556 1.5
0.9661 The interpolation equation is Solving for z from this equation gives z =1.424 Incorporating
this value into the above equation yields from which D is equal to We may now compute the
temperature at which the diffusion coefficient has this value using Equation 5.8. Taking natural
logarithms of both sides of Equation 5.8 leads to And, solving for T Into which we insert values of D,
D0, and Qd as follows: = 1010 K (737C)
