- Vol. 45, Iss: 371, pp 1225-1236
TLDR
In this article, a simplified model for studying grain boundary diffusion of one metal into another was proposed, which has obvious application to the study of heat flow in a poorly conducting solid with a metallic fin.
Abstract
Formulae are obtained for the concentration in a poorly diffusing half space bisected by a thin well-diffusing slab, at different times after the edge of the half-space has been suddenly raised from zero to unit concentration. This represents a simplified model for studying ‘grain boundary’ diffusion of one metal into another. The problem also has obvious application to the study of heat flow in a poorly conducting solid with a metallic fin.

Calculation of Diffusion Penetration Curves for Surface and Grain Boundary Diffusion

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical analysis of grain boundary and surface diffusion is completed, assuming that grain boundary diffusion is analogous to the diffusion of heat along a thin copper foil imbedded in cork.

Diffusion of Copper along the Grain Boundaries of Nickel

R. S. Barnes
- 01 Dec 1950 - 
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that copper diffuses preferentially along the grain boundaries of nickel and showed that the grain-boundary diffusion of thorium in tungsten may be a hundred times faster than through the grain itself.
