Microscopic Phase Field Study on the Kinetics of Order-Disorder Transition of APDBs Formed between DO<sub>22</sub> Phases during Stress Aging

Kinetics of order-disorder transition at antiphase domain boundary (APDB) formed between DO22 (Ni3V) phases during stress aging was investigated using microscopic phase field model. The results demonstrated that whether order-disorder transition happens or not depends on the atomic structure of the APDB. Accompanied with the depletion of V and enrichment of Ni and Al, order-disorder transition happened at the APDB (001)//(002). Whereas at the APDB {100}·1⁄2[100], which remains ordered with temporal evolution, Ni and Al enrich and V depletes. Composition evolution of APDB with order-disorder transition favors the nucleation of the L12 and disordered phase. Some of the grains grew bigger while the others disappeared, accompanying the formation of disordered phase layer during order-disorder transition of APDBs, and the order-disorder transition of APDBs can be considered as accompanying process of coarsening of ordered domain phases and growth of disordered phases.

Microscopic phase-field study on order-disorder transition of the antiphase domain boundary formed between L12 phases

Kinetics of order-disorder transition at antiphase domain boundary (APDB) formed between L12 (Ni3Al) phases is investigated using microscopic phase-field model. The results demonstrate that whether order-disorder transition happens or not depends on the atomic structure of the APDB. Accompanied with the enrichment of V and depletion of Ni and Al, the ordered APDB with phase-shift vector of a/2[100] transforms into a thin disordered phase layer. Whereas at the APDB with phase shift vector of a/2[110], which remains ordered with temporal evolution, Ni and Al enrich and V depletes. Composition evolution of APDB with order-disorder transition favors the nucleation of DO22 phase, and the formation of disordered phase layer accelerates the growth of DO22 phase. The disordered phase caused by order-disordered transition of the APDB can be considered as the transient phase along the precipitation path of DO22 phase. microscopic phase-field, antiphase domain boundary, order-disorder transition, transient phase, Ni-Al-V alloy

Kinetics of Order-Disorder Transition of Antiphase Domain Boundary Formed between DO<sub>22</sub> Phases: Microscopic Phase-Field Study

Based on the microscopic phase-field model, the precipitation process of Ni75Al4.3V20.7 alloy at 1190K is simulated, and the kinetics of order-disorder transition at antiphase domain boundary (APDB) formed between DO22 (Ni3V) phases is investigated. After the ordered APDB formed by the impingement of growing DO22 (Ni3V) domains, the order-disorder transition at APDB is happened. Accompanied with the enrichment of Ni and Al at the APDB, the ordered APDB transforms into a thin disordered phase layer. The second phase L12 nucleates at the order-disorder interface between DO22 and disordered phases, and grows along the disorder phase layer quickly. The order-disorder transition at the ordered APDB accelerates the nucleation and growth of L12 phase at the APDB. The disordered phase caused by the order-disordered transition can be considered the transient phase during the precipitation process of L12 phase.
