Abstract
ACCORDING to Kidson1, the characteristics of layer growth in a multiphase binary system are influenced considerably by diffusion rate constants of individual phases. The rate constants for various phases differ either on account of differences in crystal structure or due to atomic processes by which diffusion occurs. Zirconium-aluminium system is a multiple phase binary system, exhibiting low solid solubility at either ends of a phase diagram. The present note reports certain features of layer growth in zirconium-aluminium and zircaloy-aluminium systems which are presumably affected by the said rate constants.
