The order-disorder transition at antiphase domain boundary (APDB) between DO22 (Ni3V) phases is investigated using the microscopic phase-field model. After the formation of ordered APDB, the order-disorder transition at APDB is happened, and the ordered APDB transforms into a thin disordered phase layer. Accompanied with the enrichment of Ni and Al at the disordered APDB, the second phase L12 nucleates at the order-disorder interface between DO22 phases and grows along the disordered phase layer. The order-disorder transition at the ordered APDB makes the nucleation and growth of the second phase L12 much easier and faster. The disordered phase caused by the order-disorder transition at the APDB can be considered as the transient phase during the precipitation process of L12 phase.

Based on the microscopic phase-field model, the precipitation process of Ni75Al4.3V20.7 alloy at 1190K is simulated, and the kinetics of order-disorder transition at antiphase domain boundary (APDB) formed between DO22 (Ni3V) phases is investigated. After the ordered APDB formed by the impingement of growing DO22 (Ni3V) domains, the order-disorder transition at APDB is happened. Accompanied with the enrichment of Ni and Al at the APDB, the ordered APDB transforms into a thin disordered phase layer. The second phase L12 nucleates at the order-disorder interface between DO22 and disordered phases, and grows along the disorder phase layer quickly. The order-disorder transition at the ordered APDB accelerates the nucleation and growth of L12 phase at the APDB. The disordered phase caused by the order-disordered transition can be considered the transient phase during the precipitation process of L12 phase.

Microscopic Phase Field Model

Kinetics of order-disorder transition at antiphase domain boundary (APDB) formed between DO22 (Ni3V) phases during stress aging was investigated using microscopic phase field model. The results demonstrated that whether order-disorder transition happens or not depends on the atomic structure of the APDB. Accompanied with the depletion of V and enrichment of Ni and Al, order-disorder transition happened at the APDB (001)//(002). Whereas at the APDB {100}·1⁄2[100], which remains ordered with temporal evolution, Ni and Al enrich and V depletes. Composition evolution of APDB with order-disorder transition favors the nucleation of the L12 and disordered phase. Some of the grains grew bigger while the others disappeared, accompanying the formation of disordered phase layer during order-disorder transition of APDBs, and the order-disorder transition of APDBs can be considered as accompanying process of coarsening of ordered domain phases and growth of disordered phases.

Precipitation Phase

It is common that the pre-precipitation phase with kinetics advantage is found during non-equilibrium transformation. The continuously changed stress in the transformation increases the complication of precipitation process. The stress induces Ll0pre-precipitation phase in Ni75-Al12.5-V12.5alloy is studied by microscope phase-field model in this paper. It is particularly show that Ll2phase precipitates directly without stress. There is no Ll0phase to be found in the disordered matrix. Oppositely, Ll0phase precipitates firstly with stress, and then it turns into Ll2phase. When stress is less, either or both above situations are observed. While stress is stronger, a large range of Ll0phase precipitates firstly. Then a part of it dissolves. The rest turns into Ll2phase. The precipitation of pre-precipitation phase accelerates the precipitation process. The larger the stress and the more Ll0phase precipitation, the longer it exists and the shorter the induction period is.

Simulations are performed on atom substitution character in Ni-Al-V alloy based on microscopic phase-field model at 1046K. It was showed that the ordering of both Al and V atoms take place simultaneously during the precipitation process of Ni-Al-V alloy, V atoms substitute the Al sublattice in L12phases, and they prefer β-sites to α-sites. Both of Al and V occupy the β-sites and complex phases Ni3(Al1-xVx)are formed; V atoms substitute the Al sublattice, the D022phases are formed at the boundary of L12phases.

A phase-field model is described for predicting the diffusional phase transformation process in elastically inhomogeneous polycrystals. The elastic interactions are incorporated by solving the mechanical equilibrium equation using the Fourier-spectral iterative-perturbation scheme taking into account elastic modulus inhomogeneity. A number of examples are presented, including grain boundary segregation, precipitation of second-phase particles in a polycrystal, and interaction between segregation at a grain boundary and coherent precipitates inside grains. It is shown that the local pressure distribution due to coherent precipitates leads to highly inhomogeneous solute distribution along grain boundaries.

Second Phase Particles

A phase field model has been established to simulate the grain growth of AZ31 magnesium alloy containing spherical particles with different sizes and contents under realistic spatial-temporal scales. The expression term of second phase particles are added into the local free energy density equation, and the simulated results show that the pinning effect of particles on the grain growth is increased when the contents of particles is increasing, which is consistent with the law of Zener pinning. There is a critical particle size to affect the grain growth in the microstructure. If the size of particles is higher than the critical value, the pinning effect of particles for grain growth will be increased with further decreasing the particle size; however the effect goes opposite if the particle size is lower than the critical value.
