my.eng.utah.edu• Spinodal decomposition is a mec hanism by which a solution of two or more components can separate into distinct phases with distinctly different chemical compositions and physical properties. This mechanism differs from the classical nucleation (as we went through in previous Lectures #10-14 ):
Heat Treatment of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel
bircelik.comwithin the spinodal line, phase decomposition of the martensite into the Ferich α and the Cr-enriched α’ is expected on aging below 450°C. Much work has shown that stainless steels are embrittled when a’ phase precipitates by spinodal decomposition.
