A Solute Pinning Approach to Solute Drag in Multi-Component Solid Solution Alloys

Abstract

The Cahn, Lücke and Stüwe theory remains the backbone of more complex analysis dealing with solute drag, however, the mathematical treatment is rather involved. A new approach based on solute pinning the boundary has therefore recently been suggested, which has the main advantage of a simpler mathematical treatment. In the present paper this approach has been generalized to take into account the influence of different types of so- lute atoms in the high solute content/low driving force regime.
