Mass Vs. Heat Transfer In alloys
 Microstructure formation in alloys involves two main
mechanism:the release (in the case of exothermic
reactions) and subsequent diffusion of heat and the
rejection and diffusion of solute
 The two diffusion processes described by similar
mathematical processes, however diffusion of solute
occurs on much smaller length scales and shorter
time scales that the diffusion of heat  mass
diffusion is the rate limiting step
