Figure 5

Dissolution of the precipitates after (a) 11 hours (b) 12 hours, and (c) 13 hours of aging is shown. The white arrow indicates a dislocation. The number density of the precipitate rapidly decreased between 12 and 13 hours. Evolution of (d) the precipitate quantity (number) and (e) average precipitate radius is presented and compared to the simulation results. Grey markers: experiments, lines: simulation without chemo-mechanical coupling, κ = 0, (black) and with chemo-mechanical coupling, κ = 0.05 at.%−1, (red). The grey bars indicate the standard error of measurement.
