Abstract

In the present study we examine the well-known analysis in which the dislocation pipe diffusivity is determined by means of a grain boundary type analysis of the tail of a tracer concentration depth profile. We use a Monte Carlo grid method for testing the analysis. The results show that the analysis is really only satisfactory when the spacing between the dislocations is roughly twice the diffusion length (Dlt)½ where Dland t are the lattice diffusivity and time respectively.
