Composition Dependent Diffusivities in Multi-Component Systems

The modified Redlich-Kister approximation of the composition dependent intrinsic diffusivities in the multicomponent solid solution is presented. The effective computation method (the inverse problem) combines the Hierarchical Genetic Strategy with real number encoding (HGS-FP) with the modified Redlich-Kister approximation. The Cu-Ni-Fe alloys at 1271 K are analyzed. We show that the measured intrinsic diffusivities, the estimated from available diffusivity data and calculated by inverse method are in agreement. The presented method may become a very effective tool when the diffusion multiple technique is considered.
