The main assumptions of the Wagner model :In the alloy Migration of nickel ions takes place by jumping of nickel ions from

normal lattice sites to adjacent vacant sites. No variation of the interdiffusion coefficient D

In the oxide Thermodynamic equilibrium in the oxide scale The oxidation rate follows a parabolic law :

with aNiO=1 and aNi=NA

The equilibrium of flux of nickel atoms in the interface alloy-oxide gives us :

The Fick’s second law :

We define :

By (1), we have :

So, I define :

The equation (2) become :

So,

with erf the error function :

we find :

For NA(i)= 0.22 and NA(b) = 0.3, α=0.99 and γ= 100 :

By (1), we find the molar fraction of nickel at the interface alloy-oxide NA(i) verify :

We recall that :

Influence of D or γ (=D/k°c) on the value of NA(i) :At T = 850°C, for Ni-Pt, we have : NA(e)= 6.4. 10-7, K°c= 4.1. 10-12 cm²/sec

and D ≈ 3.1. 10-12 cm²/sec, and γ=0.76.I do vary D from 5.10-14 to 1.10-9 ie γ from 0.012 to 243.

With the Wagner model, it is possible to obtain the concentration profile of the Chromium in the alloy.

NA(i) strongly depends on the value of diffusion coefficient!

My future study is aimed to validate (or not) the utilization of Wagner model to describe the concentration profile of the Chromium in the alloy.

• Interpretation Physics :

For γ<10, the diffusion in the alloy is too slow.Each time a Cr atom arrives to the alloy-oxide interface, it diffuses « instantaneously » into the oxide scale…
