The Diffusion of Air Through Monel Metal

Abstract
The rate at which gases from the atmosphere diffuse through monel metal at various temperatures has been observed. An evacuated heavy‐walled metal tube, a section of which was machined to a thin wall, was heated in a furnace. The rate at which the pressure inside the tube increased as a result of the diffusion of gases from the atmosphere was noted. The log R vs. 1/T curves, which are usually linear, show breaks about 900°C indicating some unusual physical change occurring in the alloy at this temperature. Dilatometric measurements on the same alloy were used to check the location of this break.
