Description

The diffusion of 95Nb in niobium has been measured between 1353 and 2693 K. The data showed nonlinear Arrhenius behavior and fit the expression D = [8 x 10-3 exp (-3.62 eV/kT) + 3.7 exp (-4.54 eV/kT)] cm2sec-1. The data are interpreted in terms of a single-vacancy-divacancy mechanism. The effect of oxygen on niobium self-diffusion was measured over the temperature range 1750-2690 K. There was no measurable difference in the diffusion coefficient obtained from samples with 500-wt-ppm O2 and samples with less than 10-wt-ppm O2
