Abstract

The effect of magnetic field on the diffusion behavior of aluminum in Ni-Al alloy was investigated using diffusion couple technique. The results indicated that the diffusion of aluminum in the direction parallel to the magnetic field was suppressed and the frequency factor pertaining to the diffusion coefficient was decreased without much variation of the activation energy. The inhibition of diffusion with magnetic field was discussed based on the ambipolar diffusion theory.
