Abstract
Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering techniques were employed to study the mixing rates of NiMo and NiTi binary systems under high-energy ion bombardment. Mixing was carried out by using 1-MeV Au+ ions at various doses. Results show that the amount of mixing of NiTi is about three times higher than NiMo. Cascade collision theory can only account for a maximum of 20% difference in the amount of mixing of these two systems. However, a model based on thermodynamics has been found to predict correctly the amount of mixing of these two systems.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
