Abstract Scope |
Precipitate coarsening limits the operating temperatures of age-hardened structural alloys. Experimental and theoretical findings suggest that solute segregation at the interphase boundary (IB) can reduce the IB energy and stabilize the precipitation microstructure against coarsening. In this talk, I present a phase-field model that describes solute segregation to the interphase boundary in binary and ternary component systems. The proposed modeling framework can incorporate bulk thermodynamics and interfacial free energies. Analytical equilibrium solutions for the flat boundary case can be derived and excess IB quantities can be evaluated independent of the Gibbs dividing surface convention. Under the regular solution approximation, computational studies elucidating the dependence of the IB energy and segregation on temperature, composition and free-energy model-parameters will be presented. The model is consistent with the Gibbs adsorption equation, and hence, it will be possible to compare the predicted segregation behavior with experiments and atomistic simulations. |
