The diffusion coefficients of carbon and titanium in gamma-iron were measured in a 6T magnetic field and in magnetic field gradients ranging from 30 to 45 T/m. We have found that the diffusion of carbon in gamma-iron is retarded by application of a 6T magnetic field. In contrast with carbon diffusion, no noticeable effect of a magnetic field on the diffusivity of titanium in gamma-iron is observed. On the other hand, the diffusion of carbon in gamma-iron can be enhanced in a magnetic field gradient when carbon atoms move towards the direction with a higher magnetic field strength. The higher the magnetic field gradient strength becomes, the more the carbon diffusion is enhanced. Nevertheless, a magnetic field gradient causes a decrease in diffusivity of carbon in gamma-iron when the opposite magnetic field gradient is applied. (c) 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
