Abstract

The thermal oxidation process of γ-TiAl is discussed regarding kinetic and thermodynamic aspects. A simple thermodynamic model allows the calculation of diffusion paths and leads to a better comprehension of the role of thermodynamic and kinetic factors in diffusion processes. The calculations allow a reproduction of the experimental results. Moreover, it is possible to predict results in regions not yet experimentally determined. The advantage of potential phase diagrams compared with concentration phase diagrams is discussed for diffusion processes using the Ti–Al–O system as example.
