Nanoscale precipitation is one of the most widely used microstructural tools to manipulate
the properties of metallic alloys, and especially to reach high strength. Optimal …

The science of age hardening in aluminum alloys dates back to 1906, when Alfred Wilm
discovered that, after quenching, a duralumin Al–Cu (–Mg–Mn) alloy would progressively …

A framework for modelling coupled nucleation, growth and coarsening in diluted alloys is
presented, based on the method of finite differences. According to the assumptions, the …

Precipitation during high temperature aging of Al− Cu alloys is analysed by means of the
integration of classical nucleation theory and phase-field simulations into a multiscale …

The coarsening kinetics of γ′ precipitates in binary Ni–Al alloy is studied using three-
dimensional (3D) phase-field simulations. The bulk thermodynamic information and atomic …

We propose an approximate growth rate equation that takes into account both cross-
diffusion and high supersaturations for modeling precipitation in multicomponent systems …

Three ways of implementing classical nucleation and growth theories for precipitation are
presented and discussed:(i) the “mean radius approach”(particle size distribution is …

Discontinuous precipitation results in the formation of a two-phase lamellar structure behind
moving grain-boundaries. The reaction is of interest because it generally has a deleterious …

This work presents a model for deformation enhanced precipitate growth and coarsening
kinetics in pre-aged 7xxx aluminium alloys under warm forming conditions (100 to 200° C) …

What determines precipitate morphologies in co-precipitating alloy systems? We focus on
alloys of two precipitating phases, with precipitates of the fast-precipitating phase acting as …
