Abstract

The application of phase field method, based on the Cahn-Hilliard equation, was investigated to simulate the early stages of phase decomposition during the isothermal aging of Al-Zn and Al-Zn-Cu alloys. The simulation results indicated that the start of phase decomposition, increase in modulation amplitude, took place during the aging of binary alloys at temperatures of 100-300 °C for times up to 50 h, while the start of phase decomposition occurred during the aging of ternary alloys at temperatures of 400-550 °C for times equal to or longer than 3600 s. This analysis also showed that the morphology of the decomposed phases is irregular and interconnected in both of the aged alloys. Likewise, the equilibrium composition of the decomposed phases for both alloys was in good agreement with the predicted values in the equilibrium phase diagrams.
