a) Define diffusion, interdiffusion/impurity diffusion, and self-diffusion? (6 point)
b) What are the diffusion mechanisms? Please explain them. Which one is more rapid and why? (11 point)
c) Determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration of 0.45wt% at a position 2 mm into an iron-carbon alloy that initially contains 0.20wt%C. The surface concentration is to be maintained at 1.30wt%C, and the treatment is to be conducted at 1000C.(Diffusion coefficient of carbon in iron is 1.9310-11m2s at 1000C.) Use the table in lecture notes to determine the related z or erf(z) values. (10 point)
