β¦ Synopsis
Cluster dynamics is an original way to bridge the gap between atomistic simulations and macroscopic approaches of precipitation, but its application to alloys of high solubility limit and solute concentration raise a number of difficulties. The underlying thermodynamic model has been recently extended to treat this type of situation. New tools are presented to explore some of the consequences of this extension, validated by comparing with kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations.

A cluster dynamics model has been parametrized to quantitatively reproduce results obtained by atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo (AKMC) modeling on the precipitation of Cu in a-Fe under thermal aging. The cluster mobility, highlighted by AKMC, is shown to have a significant effect on the precipitation k
