Abstract

Coarsening kinetics was studied in a A190. 6 Li9. 4 alloy aged at 100°C, 128°C, 165°C, 178 ° C, and 209 °C. The time-dependent behavior of the average precipitate radius followed t1/3 behavior. The precipitate/ matrix interfacial energy obtained from analysis of the kinetic constant was 0.015 J/M2 and was largely independent of temperature. The scattering curves exhibit interparticle interference which prevents us from calculating a particle size distribution.
