Abstract: Metastable precipitates govern the mechanical properties of hardenable Al-alloys. A computational precipitation simulation approach is presented that is based on a combination of compiled and assessed thermodynamic and diffusion data with predictive physical models. Predictive precipitation kinetics simulation delivers approximations of thermodynamic properties that would otherwise require time-consuming computational techniques based on density functional theory. Coupling of thermodynamics with thermo-kinetic simulation of hardenable Al-alloys Al-Mg-Si 6016 is presented.
