✦ Synopsis
Experiments on the behaviour of solid materials with respect to the formation of new phases caused by chemical diffusion result in pictures showing the (random) penetration in a certain moment. Since the (surely rather complicated) law of probability of this process is unknown, the usually applied elementary methods from mathematical statistics become pure heuristics. Interpreting the phase (penetration) depth as a fuzzy variable allows a more realistic representation of the experimental results and the evaluation of a fuzzy functional relationship between phase depth and time, from which, e.g., useful conclusions are possible with respect to reasons and time laws of phase formation. The paper contains a real-world example.
