Title: Equilibrium and Kinetic Behavior of the y/β Interphase Boundary in Cu-Zn. Alloys
Authors: Stephens, Donald
Advisor: Purdy, G. R.
Department: Metallurgy and Materials Science
Keywords: Equilibrium;Kinetic Behavior;Cu-Zn. Alloys;crystalline phases
Publication Date: Dec-1972
Abstract: <P> The equilibrium behavior of the boundaries separating the a and y crystalline phases in the copper zinc alloy system is investigated by measuring the magnitude, the relative anisotropy and the temperature dependence of the interfacial energies. A model, consistent with the interfacial energetics, is proposed and supported by observations of misfit dislocations at the boundary. The migration kinetics of the y/β interface are determined for both dendritic and polyhedral morphologies and the atomic mechanisms of growth are inferred from the. internally faulted ordered y precipitates. </p>
