Abstract
The microstructure, chemistry and morphology of a decomposed Ni-12at%Be alloy were investigated with atom-probe FIM. The β-precipitates were revealed to be disc shaped. The orientation relationship between the α-matrix ( A1 ) and the β-precipitates (B2) was determined. Atom-probe analyses showed that the interphase boundaries are very sharp. On the interfaces some ledge were revealed. The results were interpreted in terms of Gibbs-Wulff theorem and growth ledge mechanism.
