How does strength evolves with time at

constant T?

1) Bell-shape curve

2) Fastest at Tnose

How does strength evolves with time at

constant T?

1) Bell-shape curve

2) Fastest at Tnose

3) If T is high, Vf is getting smaller (lever rule) >few precipitates + before coarsening > rc/b

1) Bell-shape curve

2) Fastest at Tnose

3) If T is high, Vf is getting smaller (lever rule) >few grain + before coarsening > rc/b

4) If T is low, nucleation is dominating, lots of

small grain: < rc/b

Refinements Take into account aging during service

Non metallic precipitates e.g. VC in Fe-V-C

Core-shell e.g. Zr around Al3Sc

Particle alignment (coherency stress) e.g. Ni3Al inNi-Al

Extrinsic nanoparticles seeding > no growth, noshear

Zr shell impedes diffusion thus growth

Al3Sc precipitate
