The processes of nucleation, growth and coarsening combine to dictate the final particle density produced by a phase transformation (ref. 1). The entire process, known as “umlösung,” is illustrated in Fig. 1, which depicts the number of particles vs. time, for a hypothetical phase transformation. The regions are:1.The induction period, τ, required to establish steady-state nucleation conditions.2.Steady state nucleation, where the number of particles increases linearly with time.3.Decreasing nucletion rate, due to a reduction in supersaturation by growing particles.4.Capillarity-induced coarsening (or Ostwald ripening), where the larger particles grow, but only by cannibalizing the smaller, less stable particles. The number of particles now decreases with time.In any particular situation, any of these four stages may be dominant--the microstructure may be dominated on one extreme by a long induction period (as in some glasses (ref. 2)), or by coarsening (as for some carbides in steels (ref. 3)).This manuscript will be concerned only with stages I and II, transient and steady-state nucleation. The reader is referred elsewhere for discussion of growth (refs. 4–6) and coarsening (refs. 7–9) phenomena.
