Abstract

Based on the thermodynamic parameters and experimental diffusion data in the literature, the atomic mobilities of bcc Ti-Sn alloys are assessed by the CALPHAD method using DICTRA software package, and boundary mobility parameters of hcp Ti-Sn alloys were also given in the work. Compared with the calculated and measured diffusion coefficients of bcc Ti-Sn, most of the experimental data are reproduced well. The composition-distance profiles of Ti/Ti-4.9 at.% Sn diffusion couple at 1223 K for 14.4 ks were also predicted using the assessed mobility parameters. It is hopeful to provide useful guidance for the design of Ti-based alloys.
