title: A reassessment of the metastable miscibility gap in Al-Ag alloys by atom probe tomography.
abstract: The evolution of Guinier-Preston zones in an Al-2.7 at.% Ag alloy was studied using atom probe tomography. The composition and morphology of the GP zones are time dependent, explaining discrepancies in previous work. This result requires the metastable miscibility gap for GP zones to be reevaluated, highlighting the importance of the temporal evolution of the GP zones. Preliminary results on the composition of gamma' and gamma plates are also presented.
