The results show that the alloy is composed of three phases, where the phase with the largest copper and lowest chromium content forms the matrix, while the other two, much richer in chromium, form a dispersion of isolated particles. At variance with another three-phase Cu-20Ni-20Cr alloy, which forms complex scales containing the oxides of the various components and double oxides plus an irregular region composed of alloy and oxides, the present alloy can form a very irregular but continuous chromia layer at the base of the mixed internal region, producing a gradual decrease of the oxidation rate down to very low values. A larger chromium content needed to form chromia layer for a ternary three-phase alloy is attributed to the limitations to the diffusion of the alloy components in the metal substrate imposed by their multiphase nature.展开更多

In the range from 873 to 1373 K, the precipitation mechanism transformed from spinodal decomposition to non-classic nucleation and growth; the incubation period prolonged gradually with increasing temperature. The volume fraction of L12 phases increased and that of D022 phases decreased. D022 phases disappeared at 1373 K, and finally single-phase L12 phases were formed.展开更多

The nonstoichiometric ordered L12 phases appear first with congruent ordering＋spinodal decomposition mechanism which is then followed by precipitation of D022 phases at ordering domain boundaries of L12 phases by spinodal decomposition mechanism at 1073 K and 1223 K. The nonstoichiometric L12 phases transform to stoichiometric ordering phases gradually. The incubation period of L12 and D022 phases is shorter at 1073 K than that 1223 K, and growth speed is higher at 1073 K. At 1373 K, L12 and D022 phases appear simultaneously by non-classical nucleation and growth mechanism. After that the particles of D022 phases diminish and disappear gradually; L12 phases grow and single L12 phases are remained at last.展开更多

The results show that the early precipitation mechanism of L12 phase is the mixed mechanism of spinodal decomposition and non-classical nucleation growth, whereas the early precipitation mechanism of DO22 phase is spinodal decomposition when the pre-aging temperature is 873 K. The early precipitation mechanism of L12 phase is non-classical nucleation growth, whereas the early precipitation mechanism of DO22 phase is spinodal decomposition when the pre-aging temperature is 973 K. Under the effects of elastic strain energy, the cubic particles exhibit directional alignment along [100] and [010] directions during the late precipitation, which is more obvious at lower pre-temperature. DO22 phases appear earlier than L12 phases under these two kinds of precipitation processes; and the nucleation incubation time becomes long with the increase of pre-temperature.展开更多
