Abstract

The properties of many advanced alloys are derived from extremely fine-scale microstructures. This poses interesting questions about the measurement of composition on this scale. The phase separation of model Fe-Cr alloys has been been studied with the atom-probe. Statistical techniques have been used to estimate the composition and compare the results with the predictions of linear and non-linear theories of spinodal decomposition and the distributions obtained from Monte-Carlo calculations.
