Abstract
The diffusivities of Sn, Mo, Zr, and Hf in liquid Ti were determined by pulsed ion-beam melting of thin liquid layers. Time-resolved optical reflectance and one-dimensional heat-flow simulations were employed to determine the melt duration. The broadening of nearly Gaussian solute concentration-depth profiles was determined ex situ using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. Solute diffusivities in the range of 5 to 9 × 10-5 cm2/s were determined at temperatures in the range of 2200 to 2500 K. Calculations of buoyancy and Marangoni convection indicate that convective contamination is unlikely.
