Dissolution kinetics of Widmanstatten Ag₂Al precipitates

A combination of SEM and electron-probe studies have been conducted on the dissolution of Widmanstatten γ(Ag₂Al) plates in Al-15.3 wt.% Ag between the temperatures 458°C and 494°C. Individual rather than averaged kinetic events have been monitored in all cases. The mechanism of dissolution observed...
