Question: Adapted from problem 5 . 1 4 ( 3 0 marks ) An FCC iron - carbon alloy initially containing 0 . 3 5 w

Adapted from problem 5.14(30 marks) An FCC iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.35wt%
C is exposed to an oxygen-rich and virtually carbon-free atmosphere at 1400 K . Under these circumstances
the carbon diffuses from the alloy and reacts at the surface with the oxygen in the atmosphere; that is, the
carbon concentration at the surface position is maintained essentially at 0wt%C.(This process of carbon
depletion is termed decarburization.) At what position will the carbon concentration be 0.15wt% after a
10-h treatment? Take D0 as 9.110-5m2s and Qd=168kJmol.
