Abstract

The X-ray technique for analyzing diffusion couples employs a monochromatic X-ray beam which impinges on a very fine slit, a holder for aligning the diffusion zone with the slit, and a scintillation counter for the high counting rates which have to be measured. Sample preparation, experimental instrumentation, and the application of the technique to the aluminum-nickel system will be discussed.
