Abstract

By solving the problems in the previous pragmatic method [Scr. Mater.9091, 53–56 (2014)] and including the interdiffusion flux as the criteria, an augmented numerical inverse method was proposed and realized in a house-made code. The proposed augmented numerical inverse method was successfully applied to high-throughput determination of the composition-dependent interdiffusivities in different solid solution alloys ranging from binary, ternary to multicomponent systems by using a single diffusion couple. Moreover, the advance features of the augmented numerical inverse method were also demonstrated.
