Abstract

Phase separation of quenched supersaturated Ni-(9.5-12.0)at.% Ti single crystals was followed by small-angle neutron scattering during in-beam aging at 773, 813 and 853 K. With the incident beam along <110>, scattering maxima in <100> directions were observed from the earliest stages of decomposition. While the results obtained at 773 K may be compatible with the general features of spinodal decomposition, a two-phase model with homogeneous precipitation in a depleted matrix is more appropriate at 813 and 853 K. Though scaling may be shown to hold, the aging kinetics is considerably slower than expected, which is related to a stabilizing effect of elastic coherency stresses.
