The present work investigates the atomic interactions among Cu, Al, and Ni elements in bcc-iron matrix, focusing on the formation mechanism of nano-sized core-shell Cu precipitates. Using a combination of atom probe tomography (APT),…
The Fe-Cu system has attracted much attention over the last several decades due to its technological importance as a model alloy for Cu steels. In spite of these efforts several aspects of its phase diagram remain unexplained. Here we use…
The complexity and richness of phenomena governing alloy crystal growth can be unraveled by examining the three-dimensional atomic-level distribution of elements and impurities incorporated during growth. These species act as atomic…
The precipitation microstructure of the \gamma' (AlAg2) intermetallic phase has been examined in aluminium-silver-copper alloys. The microstructure developed in an Al-0.90at.%Ag-0.90at.%Cu alloy was significantly different from that…
This work presents a detailed investigation into the effect of a low Cu addition (0.01 at.%) on precipitation in an Al-0.80Mg-0.85Si alloy during ageing. The precipitate crystal structures were assessed by scanning transmission electron…
The role of point defects in temporal evolution of Cr-rich alpha-prime phase separation in binary Fe-20 at.% Cr alloy is elucidated by intercepting the long term (upto 1000 h at 773 K) aging at regular intervals and probing by a combination…
Segregation, precipitation, and phase separation in Fe-Cr systems is investigated. Monte Carlo simulations using semiempirical interatomic potential, first-principles total energy calculations, and experimental spectroscopy are used. In…
In this work, we combine electron microscopy measurements of the surface compositions in Cu-Au nanoparticles and atomistic simulations to investigate the effect of gold segregation. While this mechanism has been extensively investigated…
The high strength of structural aluminium alloys depends strongly on the controlled precipitation of specific intermetallic phases, whose identity and crystal structure can be difficult to predict. Here, we investigate the Al-Pt system,…
An Al-11.3Li-0.11Sc (at. %) alloy was double-aged to induce first alpha'-Al3Sc and then delta'-Al3Li precipitates. Atom-probe tomography revealed both single-phase delta'-precipitates and core-shell alpha'/delta'-precipitates (with…
Using a combination of numerical simulations and atom-probe tomography experiments, we determine the interfacial energy of Cu nanocrystals precipitated within the amorphous matrix of FINEMET (molar composition Fe72.89Si16.21B6.90Nb3Cu1).…
A detailed study has been carried out on $\gamma^\prime$ (AlAg$_2$) precipitates in Al-Ag and Al-Ag-Cu alloys to reconcile the conflicting reports on chemical ordering and stacking faults in this phase. High angle annular dark field…
Precipitation of the \gamma' (AlAg2) phase was investigated in Al-Ag(-Cu) alloys using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Precipitation commenced with segregation of silver to…
Age hardening induced by the formation of (semi)-coherent precipitate phases is crucial for the processing and final properties of the widely used Al-6000 alloys. Early stages of precipitation are particularly important from the fundamental…
In the present study, correlative transmission Kikuchi diffraction transmission electron microscopy (TKD-TEM) measurements, atom probe tomography (APT), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to reveal the elemental…
Atom probe tomography (APT) analysis conditions play a major role in the composition measurement accuracy. Preferential evaporation, which significantly biases apparent composition, more than other well-known phenomena in APT, is strongly…
Corrosion originates from atomistic reactions occurring at dynamic solid liquid interfaces however, direct experimental observation of these reactions has remained elusive due to the inability to preserve transient interfacial states during…
The iron-chromium alloy and its derivatives are widely used for their remarkable resistance to corrosion, which only occurs in a narrow concentration range around 9 to 13 atomic percent chromium. Although known to be due to chromium…
Edge-to-edge interprecipitate distance distributions are critical for predicting precipitation strengthening of alloys and other physical phenomena. A method to calculate this 3D distance and the 2D interplanar distance from atom-probe…
The details of phase separation of a Ni-6.5Al-9.9Mo aged at 978 K for aging times ranging from 0.125 to 1024 h are investigated by atom-probe tomography and lattice-kinetic Monte Carlo (LKMC) simulations. On the basis of the temporal…
