The effectiveness of precipitation strengthening in metallic alloys depends on the shapes of precipitates, which was studied in two different material systems. The shape formation and evolution of tetragonally misfitting precipitates were investigated through experiments and phase-field simulations, with consistent results obtained. The in-plane shapes of precipitates observed experimentally can be quantitatively reproduced by the phase-field model.
The effectiveness of the mechanism of precipitation strengthening in metallic alloys depends on the shapes of the precipitates. Two different material systems are considered: tetragonal gamma '' precipitates in Ni-based alloys and tetragonal theta ' precipitates in Al-Cu-alloys. The shape formation and evolution of the tetragonally misfitting precipitates was investigated by means of experiments and phase-field simulations. We employed the method of invariant moments for the consistent shape quantification of precipitates obtained from the simulation as well as those obtained from the experiment. Two well-defined shape-quantities are proposed: (i) a generalized measure for the particles aspect ratio and (ii) the normalized lambda(2), as a measure for shape deviations from an ideal ellipse of the given aspect ratio. Considering the size dependence of the aspect ratio of gamma '' precipitates, we find good agreement between the simulation results and the experiment. Further, the precipitates' in-plane shape is defined as the central 2D cut through the 3D particle in a plane normal to the tetragonal c-axes of the precipitate. The experimentally observed in-plane shapes of gamma ''-precipitates can be quantitatively reproduced by the phase-field model.
