[en] The diffusion of the dissolved metallic species in a liquid metal towards the boundary layer is one of the elementary steps of the overall mass transfer process induced by thermal gradient. This phenomenon is very probably the limiting step in the mass transfer of martensitic Fe-Cr steels in the presence of Pb17Li liquid eutectic alloy. For estimating diffusion flux, the diffusion coefficients of iron and chromium in Pb17Li are needed but are not known. Consequently these data have been determined in CEA laboratory by measuring metal loss of cylindrical specimens after rotation at 500 deg C in Pb17Li for several hours and applying the first Fick diffusion law in the boundary layer whose the thickness has been previously determined by EISENBERG. After a description of the experimental device, the results are presented and discussed
