The experimental data for A-diffusion (A=Ni) and for B-diffusion (B=Sb, Sn, In) in A/B-alloys with the B82-structure have been compared with a number of possible diffusion mechanisms. The diffusion behaviour is well understood in terms of a main diffusion mechanism, using the double tetrahedral interstices in the case of A-diffusion, and a pure vacancy mechanism in the B-sublattice for B-diffusion. Minority mechanisms explain the temperature variation of the D┴/D‖-ratio.
