Abstract
A new atomic mobility database for Fcc_A1, L12, Bcc_A2, Bcc_B2, and liquid phases in the Al-Cu-Fe-Mg-Mn-Ni-Si-Zn system has been established via a hybrid approach of experiment, first-principles calculations and DICTRA (DIffusion Controlled TRAnsformation) software, focusing on the atomic mobility parameters in ternary systems. Various diffusivities can be computed as a function of temperature and composition. The reliability of this diffusivity database is further validated by comparing the calculated and measured diffusion properties in a series of ternary and quaternary diffusion couples, including concentration profiles, diffusion paths, interdiffusion fluxes, and so on. The effect of the diffusivity database on microstructure evolution during solidification is demonstrated by the phase field simulation of primary (Al) grains in Al356.1 alloy. The simulation results indicate that such accurate diffusivity database is highly needed for the quantitative simulation of microstructural evolution during solidification.
