The simulation results show that Al concentration has important effects on the precipitation sequence. When Al concentration in Ni75AlxV25-x alloy is low, 0(Ni3V) ordered phase will be firstly precipitated, followed by γ'(Ni3Al) ordered phase. With Al concentration increasing, θ and γ' ordered phases are simultaneously precipitated. With A1 concentration further increasing, γ' ordered phase is firstly precipitated, followed by θ ordered phase. There is a competition relationship between θ and γ' ordered phases during growth and coarsening process. No matter which first precipitates, θ ordered phase always occupies advantage in the competition process of coarsening, thus, the microstructure with preferred orientation is formed.展开更多
