The main assumptions of the Wagner model :In the alloy Migration of nickel ions takes place by jumping of nickel ions from
normal lattice sites to adjacent vacant sites. No variation of the interdiffusion coefficient D
In the oxide Thermodynamic equilibrium in the oxide scale The oxidation rate follows a parabolic law :

Influence of D or γ (=D/k°c) on the value of NA(i) :At T = 850°C, for Ni-Pt, we have : NA(e)= 6.4. 10-7, K°c= 4.1. 10-12 cm²/sec
and D ≈ 3.1. 10-12 cm²/sec, and γ=0.76.I do vary D from 5.10-14 to 1.10-9 ie γ from 0.012 to 243.

With the Wagner model, it is possible to obtain the concentration profile of the Chromium in the alloy.
NA(i) strongly depends on the value of diffusion coefficient!
My future study is aimed to validate (or not) the utilization of Wagner model to describe the concentration profile of the Chromium in the alloy.
