Applications
Diffusion is of fundamental importance in many disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology. Some example applications of diffusion:
- Sintering to produce solid materials (powder metallurgy, production of ceramics)
- Chemical reactor design
- Catalyst design in chemical industry
- Steel can be diffused (e.g., with carbon or nitrogen) to modify its properties
- Doping during production of semiconductors.
