Abstract
A front-tracking, finite-difference scheme is used to investigate the effect of interfacial kinetic barriers on the motion of a planar interface during a diffusional phase transformation in a ternary system. Composition fields within each phase are solved explicitly while interfacial compositions and fluxes are determined using a fully implicit technique. Numerical calculations indicate that interfacial kinetic barriers can change both the sign and magnitude of the interface velocity at short diffusion times and result in shifts in interfacial composition on the order of several atomic percent, as compared with interfacial compositions obtained under local thermodynamic equilibrium at the interface.
