In support of application of the DARPA-AIM methodology to the accelerated hybrid thermal process optimization of 3 rd generation aeroturbine disc alloys with quantified uncertainty, equilibrium and diffusion couple experiments have identified available fundamental thermodynamic and mobility databases of sufficient accuracy. Using coherent interfacial energies quantified by Single-Sensor DTA nucleation undercooling measurements, PrecipiCalc™ simulations of nonisothermal precipitation in both supersolvus and subsolvus treated samples show good agreement with measured γ' particle sizes and compositions. Observed longterm isothermal coarsening behavior defines requirements for further refinement of elastic misfit energy and treatment of the parallel evolution of incoherent precipitation at grain boundaries.
