Abstract

Phase field modeling of precipitation kinetics in Al – Zr – Sc and Al – Zr – Ti ternary alloys has been performed. The free energy was evaluated using the Thermocalc data. Our simulations showed that L12 precipitates in Al – Zr – Sc alloy consists of Sc rich zone of in core and Zirconium rich zone at the precipitate / matrix interface. In Al – Zr – Ti system, Al3 (Zr-Ti) precipitates are homogeneous and no segregation is observed. Phase-field simulation results are compared with 3D APT data.
