The γ phase precipitates initially for Ni75Al7aV17.9 and Ni75Al5.5V19.5 alloys and the two phases transform from the equiaxed or strip-like to the quadrate as the growth and coarsening processes. For the anisotropic elasticity interaction of the system, the orientation of γ is along the 〈001〉 directions and the θ phase is along the short axis direction of [10]. Analysis of the structure and the pair-correlation functions indicate that the average precipitate length scale of the particles increases at the late-stage coarsening, and the dynamical scaling behavior is obeyed.展开更多

The results show that the second phase precipitated from the interphase boundary formed by the first phase and the disordered matrix at high temperature, and from the interphase boundaries of the first phase at low temperature. L12 phase had obvious selective orientation when precipitated from the interphase boundaries of D022- L12 phase nucleated easily at the interphase boundaries formed by [10] and [01] directions of D022 projection along [001] direction, and grew easily at [10] direction. There was no the selective orientation when L12 phase precipitated from the interphase boundary formed by D022 and the disordered matrix. D022 phase had the selective orientation when precipitated from the interphase boundaries of L12, and grew along the [10] direction.展开更多

The simulation results indicate that the shape transition and spatial correlation of L12 and D022 are caused by the morphological-dependent anisotropic elastic interactions in the system. The coarsening process of the particles is by means of neighbor particles impingement and aggregation into larger ones. For the strain-induced interactions between the precipitates,the LSW theory is altered for the coarsening behavior of L12 and D022. In addition,the simulation reveals that the growth and coarsening of D022 present two obvious stages at lower Al concentration regions and proceed simultaneously at high Al concentration regions. The growth and coarsening processes of L12 at the same regions is reverse to those of D022.展开更多

For the single phase region existing at high temperature, the low content alloy was used as the study object. With the progressive aging mechanisms, the metastable phase γ′ of high temperature can be obtained from the low temperature two phase regions, and the quantity of γ′ phase reduces with increasing temperature. The θ single phase morphology at high temperature regions will turn to be the γ′+θ two phase morphology at low temperature with the interrupted aging method. Despite of the different precipitation paths of γ′ phase, the precipitation mechanisms are the same for the low temperature aging and high temperature interrupted aging.展开更多

The results show that five kinds of heterointerfaces are formed between DO22 and L12 phase and four of them can migrate during the phase transformation from L12 to DO22 except the interface (002)D//(001)L. The structure of interface (100)D//(200)L and interface (100)D//(200)L·^1/2[001] remain the same before and after migration, while the interface (002)D//(002)L is formed after the migration of interface (002)D//(002)L·^1/2[100] and vice versa. These two kinds of interface appear alternatively. The jump and substitute of atoms selects the optimization way to induce the migration of interface during the phase transformation, and the number of atoms needing to jump during the migration is the least among all of the possible atom jump modes.展开更多
