Measurements of the Hf diffusion in alpha-Ti were made by heavy ions R
utherford backscattering spectrometry (HIRBS). The range of temperatur
e covered was 900-1145 K. The Arrhenius plot is a straight line for th
e total range of temperature covered with Q = 254+/-30 kJ/mol and D-0
= (4+/-2)x10(-6) m(2)/s. These values are in excellent agreement with
previous ones obtained with the RBS technique in the range 823-1023 K.
The results suggest that there is no Fe influence on Hf diffusion in
alpha-Ti.
