Phase-field Simulations of Interdiffusion Microstructures in Elastically Stressed Multicomponent Multiphase Alloys KU Leuven
The formation of interdiffusion microstructures having intermetallic phases at multi-phase joints due to isothermal multicomponent diffusion is of both fundamental and technological importance. Moreover, several numerical and experimental studies on superalloys, solders and battery materials have shown that elastic stresses resulting from difference in partial molar volumes, bulk compositional heterogeneity and externally imposed traction ...
