Kinetics: Diffusion-Controlled Growth
Channel: bhadeshia123
Date: 24/04/2011

The one-dimensional growth of a particle, controlled by the rate at which solute diffuses in the parent phase ahead of the product-parent interface, is described. Equations are derived for the simple case of the growth of ferrite from austenite in a binary Fe-C alloy.

This lecture should be most useful to those interested in physical metallurgy. It was originally given at Cambridge University by Professor H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia. The accompanying web site has more information.
