摘要
A time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) study was carried out to investigate the precipitation kinetics of Ll(2) Al-3(Zr, Sc) precipitates in aluminium at temperatures ranging between 400 and 475 degrees C. It is shown that the chemical heterogeneity of the precipitates, which consist of a Se-rich core and a Zr-rich shell, results in a characteristic SAXS signal, which can be fitted by a three-phase model to extract the chemical and morphological features of the precipitate size distribution. The experimental results show a strong effect of the heating rate on the precipitation kinetics, and a precipitate density strikingly constant with time in the investigated range. These results are discussed in view of the mechanisms proposed in the existing literature for the formation of the core-shell structure of these precipitates. (C) 2007 Acta Materialia Inc.
