The Static and Dynamic Properties of Semicoherent Interfaces in Cu-Zn-Sn Alloys

Abstract

<p> The equilibrium and kinetic properties of semicoherent interfaces between γ precipitates and β matrix in Cu-Zn-Sn are examined using a simple dislocation model. The predicted surface energies and mobilities are compared to those observed in experiments which also assess the validity of current theories of interfacial stability in diffusion-controlled growth.</p>
