    Abstract

    A recent publication reported a power law relationship for maximum precipitate density in the copper rich Cu-Co alloy system, expressed as a function of the maximum nucleation rate and the solute diffusion coefficient. In the present paper, it is shown that a similar relationship holds in the aluminium rich Al-Sc alloy system, and two general, closed form solutions are derived from first principles. © 2005 Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
