Study Of Nucleation And Growth Ev Al-Zn Alloys Using TEM Conferences

abstract

• ABSTRACTNucleation and growth studies were conducted on Al-Zn alloys at several temperatures using transmission electron Microscopy (TEM) with an in-situ furnace. The value of the critical undercooling was established by noting the lowest temperature at which precipitates were no longer observed, following a quench into the two-phase metastable region. These results were compared with the Langer-Schwartz Model of nucleation and growth in which it is predicted that the half-completion time (i.e, the time required for the supersaturation to reach half its initial value) diverges for initial supersaturations which are higher than those predicted by the classical nucleation theory.
