Calculation of Kirkendall Plane Position in Single and Multiphase Systems

In this paper three methods for calculating Kirkendall plane position after diffusion process are described. Bifurcation of K-plane is discussed. Kirkendall planes shift is simulated in hypothetical binary system where solid solution occur and binary system, where two interphases occur. Kirkendall plane shift was estimated by marker conservation method, which is described. It was shown that bifurcation of Kirkendall plane can occur in multiphase systems.
