Given that the rate of diffusion of nickel in iron is very much greater in the liquid state than in the solid state, what effect should this have on the ease of obtaining an equilibrium microstructure (i. e., one that is homogeneous) when an alloy containing the peritectic composition 4.5 percent nickel is cooled through the peritectic temperature

    The rate of diffusion of nickle in is higher in liquid state than solid state which is affect the ease of equilibrium of microstructure.

    When peritectic composition of 4.5% nickle is called from peritectic temperature due to high rate of diffusion of nickle into iron we get fine microstructure containing more nickle atoms in the iron.

    Due to high rate of diffusion more no. Of microstructure created from where new grain is generated. So the microstructure will get equilibrium soon after cooling.
