Abstract
A precipitation reaction in a supersaturated metastable alloy starts with the formation of stable nuclei, then proceeds to a more or less marked growth regime and finally ends in a coarsening reaction. According to the classical nucleation theory,the nucleation rate J is mainly governed by the work of formation ΔF* of a critical nucleus with radius R* [1]:
(σ: specific interfacial energy). A nucleated spherical particle of radius R and solute concentration Cp embedded in a supersaturated matrix of mean solute concentration c(t) will grow at a rate [2] (D: diffusion coefficient):
