Heat treatment for precipitation hardening is known to have a significant effect on the
nano/microstructure of cast aluminum alloys, and thereby affecting its properties. In this …

Mean-field theory has been widely applied in modelling the kinetics of microstructure
evolution. Considering a free energy contribution by microstructure entropy, a Fokker-Planck …

Recent environmental restrictions constrained car manufacturers to promote cast aluminum
alloys working at high temperatures (180° C–300° C). The development of new alloys …

High-strength aluminium alloys attract continuous research interest, owing to their wide use
in aerospace and terrestrial transportation industries. The performance of the alloys is …

Nucleation kinetics in a multicomponent supersaturated solid solution is examined.
Attachment rate of atoms to a nucleus of a size close to the critical one is determined …

In the aluminum industry, the needs of predictability of the kinetics of precipitation during the
artificial aging processes increase as the targeted applications require the maximisation of …

It has been a long standing mystery why cavities nucleate during materials' creep even
when the applied stresses are much smaller< 1/100 than those required either to break …

Despite numerous contributions made to the modelling of precipitation kinetics, no theory
