Analysis of ostwald ripening in ni-rich ni-ti alloys by diffusion couples Article uri icon

abstract

  • The coarsening kinetics of γ%27 precipitates in Ni-rich Ni-Ti alloys are studied using a Ni-11·5 wt%25 Ti and pure Ni diffusion couple. The formed concentration gradient allowed to study the aging process at 1023 K (750 °C) in Ni-rich Ni-Ti alloys with Ti content from 8·62 to 11·15 wt%25 Ti. In general, during the coarsening of γ%27 precipitates, the experimental coarsening kinetics do not fit well to the LSW or TIDC theoretical models and anomalous behaviour of coarsening rate constant (kr) associated with γ%27 volumefraction is confirmed at high values.
