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

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 demonstrate that there exists the incubation time for different precipitation mechanisms, such as non-classical nucleation, the mixed style of non-classical nucleation and spinodal decomposition, and spinodal ordering; and the incubation time shortens in turn for the three kinds of mechanisms. With the increase of Al content of Ni 75AlxV 25-xalloy, the incubation time of L12 phases shortens continuously and that of D0 22phases is prolonged. The effects of temperature on the incubation time of L12 and D0 22phases are accordant, i.e. the incubation time is greatly prolonged with the temperature rising.展开更多

The final morphology ofγ' andθis similar in spatial alignment, but the volume fraction ofγ' phase increases and that ofθdecreases as the Al concentration increases. For the small elastic interactions of early-stage phase separation, the coarsening ofγ' andθcan be approximated by a linear growth law as predicated by Lifshitz and Slyozov and Wangner (LSW) theory. As the elastic interactions increase at late-stage coarsening, the growth rate decreases, and the growth presents quick increase at early-stage and slows down at late-stage.展开更多

Based on the atomic occupation probability figure on 2D and order parameters, it was found that the IPB formed by different directions ofθ phase has great effect on the precipitation of γ ′ phase. The γ ′ phase precipitated at the IPB that is formed by [1 00]θ direction where the ( 001)θ plane is opposite, and then grows up and the shape is strap at final. The IPB structure between γ ′phase andθ phase is the same. There is no γ ′ phase precipitate at the IPB where the ( 002)θ and ( 001)θ planes are opposite, the ordered IPB is dissolved into disordered area. There is γ ′ phase precipitation at the IPB formed by the [ 001]θ and [1 00]θ directions, and the IPB structure is different between γ ′ phase and the different directions ofθ phase. The IPB where ( 001)γ′ and (1 00)θ plane opposite does not migrate during the γ ′ phase growth, and γ ′ phase grows along [1 00]θdirection.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

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
