Tracer volume diffusion of 63 Ni in Ni-50.07 at.% Ti binary and Ni-48.83 at.% Ti-9.29 at.% Cu ternary alloys have been measured between 783 and 1288 K. The temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficients can be well described by a straight Arrhenius function This illustrates that a diffusional anomaly (typical in some bcc metallic alloys and related to the well-known phonon softening), if there is any in this system, is negligible. On the other hand, the small activation energy (about half the value expected from simulations for the commonly accepted mechanism with thermally activated vacancies) shows that the mechanism of diffusion is probably mediated by structural vacancies.
