.~.~ Solid state alloying (e.g., diffusion, to disappearance of an original layer)
DEFINITION
Classification: 428/941
Cross-reference collection in which a metallic* stock is made by heating a layered stock-material* for a time and at a temperature sufficient to cause one of the original layers to disappear by diffusion into an adjacent layer or layers of the stock.

547, and 610, for metallic* stock-materials* having a composition gradient, often due to a diffusion process.
