Abstract For media with inclusions (e.g., precipitates, voids, reinforcements, and others), the difference in lattice parameter and the elastic modulus between the matrix and inclusions cause stress concentration at the interfaces. These stress fields depend on the inclusions’ size, shape, and distribution and will respond instantly to the evolving microstructure. This study develops a phase-field model concerning modulus heterogeneity. The effect of modulus heterogeneity on the growth process and equilibrium state of the α plate in Ti-6Al-4V during precipitation is evaluated. The α precipitate exhibits strong anisotropy in shape upon cooling due to the interplay of the… More >
