Ternary systems play an important role in several fields of technology. Several intermetallic layers may occur in the region of the original interface of a couple with different compositions of one ternary system. Interdiffusion is the responsible mechanisms and it is well know for yielding the so-called "Kirkendall effect". The mechanism of splitting of the so-called "Kirkendall-plane" has been strongly supported by the extensive works. Onsager’s principle of maximum dissipation has been used to derive the evolution equations for the set of positions of the interfaces between several stoichiometric phases and of Kirkendall planes. This concept allows to study in detail the polyfurcation of the Kirkendall plane. The model has also been extended from a binary system to a multi-component system. |
