Modelling precipitation in binary alloys by cluster dynamics
Résumé
Cluster dynamics is an original way to bridge the gap between atomistic Simulations and macroscopic approaches of precipitation, but its application to alloys Of high Solubility limit and solute concentration raise a number of difficulties. The underlying thermodynamic model has been recently extended to treat this type of situation. New tools are presented to explore some of the consequences of this with kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations. extension. validated by comparing (C) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
