The role of interfacial structure in the evolution of precipitate morphology
Three aspects of precipitate growth by a ledge mechanism in a Ni-45wt%Cr alloy were investigated. The strain energy for ledge formation and ledge growth kinetics and the emission of structural defects were studied experimentally during the growth of bcc laths from an fcc matrix. The elastic strain …

Interfacial structure of delta phase in Inconel 718 and the selection of precipitate habit planes
We investigated the structure and defects associated with interphase boundaries between a γ (fcc) matrix and plate-shaped precipitates of the δ (orthorhombic) phase in Inconel 718. Based upon transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations, the average habit plane was confirmed to be …
