Contents
THE GENERAL PROBLEM OF THE STABILITY OF MICROSTRUCTURE: Driving forces for microstructural change-reduction of free energy -- Mechanisms of microstructural change- rate controlling step -- Quantitative microscopy -- STRUCTURAL INSTABILITY DUE TO CHEMICAL FREE ENERGY: Instability due to non-uniform solute distribution -- Nucleation of precipitates from supersaturated solid solution -- Growth of precipitates from supersaturated solid solution -- Second-phase dissolution -- HIGHLY METASTABLE ALLOYS: Manufacturing methods -- Metastable phase diagrams -- Metastable crystalline phases -- Amorphous alloys -- INSTABILITY DUE TO STRAIN ENERGY: The stored energy of cold work -- Recovery -- Recrystallisation -- MICROSTRUCTURAL INSTABILITY DUE TO INTERFACES: Surface energy and surface tension-[sigma] -- Atomic origin of the interfacial free energy -- The anisotropy of surface free energy-the [sigma] plot and the Gibbs-Wulff theorem -- Precipitate coarsening: 'Otswald ripening' -- Experimental investigations of precipitate coarsening -- Stability of lamellar or fibrous microstructures -- Microstructural change due to grain boundary energies -- Dendrite arm coarsening -- OTHER CAUSES OF MICROSTRUCTURAL INSTABILITY: Migration of second-phase inclusions in a temperature gradient -- Migration in a gravitational (acceleration) field -- Migration in an electric field- electromigration -- Effect of magnetic fields on metallic microstructure -- Deformation -- Precipitate stability under irradiation.
