C. NARAYAN and J. I. GOLDSTEIN ~/T x 103 (*K -I) Fig. 4--Temperature dependence of domain growth.-

critical temperature Tc is approached. Thus, ~r can vary by orders of magnitude. However, the present data do not show the effect of strongly varying m instead, they show a simple exp(-Q/RT)-type temperature dependence, thereby supporting the functional relationship predicted by Allen and Cahn? Thus, the phenomenological theories ~'6 which predict a linear dependence of o- on the interface velocity are not applicable to the DO3 domain growth in the present alloy. From the slope of the straight line in Figure 4, an apparent activation energy of -247 kJ/mole was calculated for the domain-growth process; this value should correspond to atomic diffusion. Since the activation energies for diffusion in the DO3 Fe-A1-Si alloys are not known, it is not possible to make a definitive statement in this regard. For the heat treatments used, only DO3 domains were observed at room temperature. The APBs had a fault vector of (1/2)a~(100); no (1/4)a~(lll) thermal APBs were observed. DO3 domain-growth kinetics exhibit a parabolic time dependence and an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence, indicating that growth is diffusion-controlled. The kinetics do not reflect the contribution of a strong temperature dependence of the surface free-energy. Thus, the surface free-energy does not control the domain growth.

The kinetics of decomposition of austenite in Fe-base alloys are often limited by the diffusivity of the substitutional alloying element in the austenitic matrix. ~.2In Fe-Ni alloys, a knowledge of the diffusivity of Ni in Fe-Ni (Dgi) below 800 ~ is necessary to model the grow
