The joining of a Ti3SiC2 ceramic with a Ti–6Al–4V alloy was carried out at the temperature range of 1200–1400 °C for 15 min to 4 h in a vacuum. The total diffusion path of joining was determined to be Ti3SiC2/Ti5Si3Cx/Ti5Si3Cx + TiCx/TiCx/Ti. The reaction was rate controlled by the solid-state diffusion below 1350 °C and turned to the liquid-state diffusion controlled with a dramatic increase of parabolic rate constant Kp when the temperature exceeded 1350 °C. The TiCx tended to grow at the boundarywith the Ti–6Al–4V alloy at a higher temperature and longer holding time. TheTi3SiC2/Ti–6Al–4V joint is expected to be applied to implant materials.

The reaction of a metal or alloy with an oxidising environment to form a scale often involves a diffusion process as the rate limiting step. The most protective oxide scales are slow growing, adherent to the substrate, and free of cracks or pores. The growth of these scales is typically by solid state diffusion of metal or oxygen ions that move via point defects in the oxide lattice. In 1933, C. Wagner established a scientific basis for oxidation processes controlled by solid state diffusion, with his celebrated derivation of the parabolic rate constant, which connects scaling rates, diffusion coefficients, point defect concentrations, point defect types, and effect of external parameters, e.g. pO2. These aspects are discussed in this paper. The importance of the Wagnerian theory is to provide a relatively simple model upon which more comprehensive models may be built. For many applications, the rate of degradation of the metal or alloy, owing to oxidation by lattice diffusion would be quite acceptable. Several examples of oxidation processes controlled by vacancy and/or interstitial diffusion will be discussed.

Dense polycrystalline titania (TiO2, rutile) was converted into oriented arrays of single-crystal titania nanofibers by reaction with a noncombustible, hydrogen-bearing gas mixture at only 680–780 °C. Such nanofiber formation resulted from anisotropic etching (“nanocarving”) of the titania grains. The fibers possessed diameters of 20–50 nm and lengths of up to several microns, with the long fiber axes oriented parallel to the [001] crystallographic direction of rutile. Mass spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy indicated that oxygen, but not titanium, was removed from the specimen during the reaction with hydrogen. The removal of substantial oxygen and solid volume from the reacting surfaces, without an appreciable change in the Ti:O ratio at such surfaces, was consistent with the solid-state diffusion of titanium cations from the surface into the bulk of the specimen. The reaction-induced weight loss followed a parabolic rate law, which was also consistent with a solid-state diffusion-controlled process.
