Abstract

Ge precipitates in Al-Ge alloys have been observed to undergo a transformation in shape during in-situ temperature cycling in a high voltage electron microscope. Octahedral precipitates with a parallel-cube orientation relationship spheroidized on heating and refaceted to the octahedral shape on cooling. This shape transformation was essentially conservative if the temperature excursions were kept small. These observations are discussed in terms of an interface roughening transformation.
