Yes, solid can diffuse into solid.
Explanation:
The particles in solids have thermal kinetic energy, which causes them to vibrate and eventually diffuse into each other.
However, the process is very slow, because the particles in a solid are closely packed dogether.
Some examples of solid-solid diffusion are
-
Pure gold and pure lead will diffuse into each other.
-
Chalk marks on a blackboard eventually become permanent.
-
Two pieces of chalk wrapped tightly together will fuse together after a few years.
