摘要:

基于相场模型,建立了Al-Cu合金高温时效过程中θ'相均匀和非均匀形成的多尺度模拟方法。模型参数,确定不同的能量贡献(化学自由能,界面能,晶格参数,弹性常数)从计算热力学数据库或从第一原理密度泛函理论和分子静力学模拟。在此基础上,采用相场模型对θ'相的演化和平衡形态进行了三维模拟。该模型能够再现取向关系为(001)θ '//(001)α和[100] θ'//[100]α的片状θ'沉淀物在均匀形核和位错上的非均匀形核过程中不同取向变体的演化,从而导致沉淀物阵列的形成。位错应力场和与θ'相形核相关的无应力相变应变之间的相互作用能触发了预先存在的位错上的异质形核。此外,控制析出相的形态和平衡长径比的演变的机制被确定。多尺度模型的预测结果与实验数据吻合较好。

英文摘要:

A multiscale approach based on the phase-field model is developed to simulate homogeneous and heterogeneous formation of θ' precipitates during high temperature ageing in Al-Cu alloys. The model parameters that determine the different energy contributions (chemical free energy, interfacial energy, lattice parameters, elastic constants) were obtained from either computational thermodynamics databases or from first-principles density functional theory and molecular statics simulations. From the information, the evolution and equilibrium morphology of the θ' precipitates is simulated in 3D using the phase-field model. The model was able to reproduce the evolution of the different orientation variants of plate-like shaped θ' precipitates with orientation relationship (001)θ'//(001)α and [100]θ'//[100]α during homogeneous nucleation as well as the heterogeneous nucleation on dislocations, leading to the formation of precipitate arrays. Heterogeneous nucleation on pre-existing dislocation(s) was triggered by the interaction energy between the dislocation stress field and the stress-free transformation strain associated to the nucleation of the θ' precipitates. Moreover, the mechanisms controlling the evolution of the morphology and the equilibrium aspect ratio of the precipitates were ascertained. All the predictions of the multiscale model were in good agreement with experimental data.
