以Spinodal分解为例,说明相变研究的重要意义.铁素体不锈钢中呈现400～550℃时效脆性的原由为Spinodal分解而非有序化.介绍了含不溶区间及Spinodal线的Fe-Cr相图.Mn-Al-C钢奥氏体经Spinodal分解显示抗拉强度和屈服强度分别增至1120 MPa和1080 MPa,伸长率约30%,值得给予关注.Cu-15Ni-8Sn和Cu-15Ni-8Sn-0.2Nb合金由于Spinodal分解和有序析出相呈显著强化,并具良好应力松弛,高的弹性模量和导电性.Cu-Ni-Sn经Spinodal分解还会出现胞状或条状组织,称非连续Spi-nodal分解,铝合金时效时也会发生Spinodal分解,Co_(45),Cu_(55)薄膜通过Spinodal分解显示18%的最大巨磁阻.
