    Flux Points
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the flux (J) of Ni diffusion in FCC Fe at 1000°C, with specific concentrations at two points. The concentration of Ni at point x is 0.3 atoms %, while at point y, it is 0.2 atoms %, with a distance of 1 mm between them. The diffusion coefficient (D) is given as 2ε-16 M²/s, and the relevant equations for flux are provided. However, the calculation of J remains incomplete due to missing information needed to accurately determine the change in concentration (Δc) and other parameters. Ultimately, the correct flux value cannot be established without additional data.

The diffusion of Ni in FCC Fe. There is 0.3 atoms % of Ni in a solid solution in FCC Fe @ point x.
Point y is 1 mm away and has 0.2 atoms % of Ni within the solid solution.
Temperature = 1000° C, D = 2ε-16M2/s

Calculate the flux (J) between points x & y.
Radius of Fe atom = 0.13 nm @ 1000°C; a = 0.37nm.

ATTEMPT AT A SOLUTION
Ni is FCC
4 atoms in unit cell of FCC. a= 4T/(√3)
# Atoms = 8*1028

J = -D(dc/dx)
Δc = 1.6e26-2.4e26
Δx = 1mm = 1*10^-6 nm
J = -1.6e25 is this right?

The correct answer is not provided, as this problem requires additional information in order to be solved. The equation for the flux (J) is J = -D(dc/dx). The equation still needs to be filled in with information such as the diffusion coefficient (D) and the change in concentration (Δc). With that information, the flux can be calculated.
 
I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
