Precipitation kinetics of Al3Zr and Al3Sc in aluminum supersaturated solid solutions is studied using cluster dynamics, a mesoscopic modeling technique which describes the various stages of homogeneous precipitation by a single set of rate…
Zr and Sc precipitate in aluminum alloys to form the Al\_3Zr\_xSc\_{1-x} compound which, for low supersaturations of the solid solution, exhibits the L1\_2 structure. The aim of the present study is to model at an atomic scale the kinetics…
A multidisciplinary approach is presented to analyse the precipitation process in a model Al-Cu alloy. Although this topic has been extensively studied in the past, most of the investigations are focussed either on transmission electron…
The mechanisms of dislocation/precipitate interactions were analyzed in an Al-Cu alloy containing a homogeneous dispersion of $\theta'$ precipitates by means of discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. The simulations were carried out…
The critical resolved shear stress of an Al 4 wt. \% Cu alloy containing a homogeneous distribution of $\theta''$ precipitates was determined by means of dislocation dynamics simulations. The size distribution, shape, orientation and volume…
One usual way to strengthen a metal is to add alloying elements and to control the size and the density of the precipitates obtained. However, precipitation in multicomponent alloys can take complex pathways depending on the relative…
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 Al2O3 suspensions, depending on the experimental conditions very different microstructures can be found, comprising fluid like suspensions, a repulsive structure, and a clustered microstructure. For technical processing in ceramics, the…
A class of proposed coherent precipitate structures (Guinier-Preston zones) in the Al-Mg-Si alloy are investigated using first-principles density functional theory methods. The cluster expansion method is used to extract effective…
This Article presents a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for the mean-field precipitation, aggregation and pattern formation of colloidal clusters. A variable gradient energy coefficient and the arrest of particle diffusion upon…
Cobalt-based alloys with {\gamma}/{\gamma}' microstructures have the potential to become the next generation of superalloys, but alloy compositions and processing steps must be optimized to improve coarsening, creep, and rafting behavior.…
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…
Precipitation during high temperature aging of Al-Cu alloys is analyzed by means of the integration of classical nucleation theory and phase-field simulations into a multiscale modelling approach based on well-established thermodynamics…
We study the dynamic scaling properties of an aggregation model in which particles obey both diffusive and driven ballistic dynamics. The diffusion constant and the velocity of a cluster of size $s$ follow $D(s) \sim s^\gamma$ and $v(s)…
The consistent and computationally efficient stochastic statistical approach (SSA) is suggested to study kinetics of nucleation and evolution of nano-sized precipitates in alloys. An important parameter of the theory is the size of locally…
Zr and Sc precipitate in aluminum alloys to form the compounds Al3Zr and Al3Sc which for low supersaturations of the solid solution have the L12 structure. The aim of the present study is to model at an atomic scale this kinetics of…
Precipitation patterns emerging in a 2D moving front are investigated on the example of NaOH diffusing into a gel containing AlCl_3. The time evolution of the precipitate Al(OH)_3 can be observed since the precipitate redissolves in the…
A multiscale approach based on the phase-field model is developed to simulate homogeneous and heterogeneous formation of {\theta}' precipitates during high temperature ageing in Al-Cu alloys. The model parameters that determine the…
In certain naturally aged aluminum alloys, significant strengthening can be obtained due to the decomposition of a super-saturated solid solution into clusters. The origins of such strengthening remain unclear due to the challenge of…
This model describes cluster aggregation in a stirred colloidal solution Interacting clusters compete for growth in this 'winner-takes-all' model; for finite assemblies, the largest cluster always wins, i.e. there is a uniform sediment. In…
