The shapes of coherent misfitting ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{3}$Al precipitates were systematically investigated using a parameter \ensuremath{\zeta} defined essentially by the ratio particle sizes along 〈100〉 and 〈110〉. variation with size was measured in several alloys electron microscopy. does not depend uniquely on size; it is also strongly influenced volume fraction ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{3}$Al. These results provide first quantitative evidence that elastic interaction energy plays major role only...
A crystal structure of the T 1 phase (Al2CuLi), commonly observed in aged Al–Cu–Li alloys containing ~3%Cu and 2%Li, is proposed. It an ‘ideal’ sense that it predicts X-ray peaks with intensities fair agreement those reported semiquantitatively by Hardy Silcock, but for which additional refinement not warranted. With ideal as a basis, expected electron diffraction patterns zone axes [00l], [110], [111], [112], [013], [114] have been predicted. These are demonstrated to be excellent...
