Kinetics of cells’ nucleation at cellular decomposition of solid solutions in copper alloys with 3.68—6.00 at.% of titanium is investigated within the temperature range of 848—973 К. Values of cells number per unit volume, N, at various times of ageing are obtained, using numerical statistical metallography. Among main parameters of kinetics of cells’ nucleation, namely, a number of probable potential places of cells’ nucleation per time unit, ˉN, frequency of acts of cells’ formation per time unit, vS, and period of instability of this process are determined. The cells’ formation rates, ˙N, at various ageing temperatures are determined, and their temperature dependences are plotted. These dependences demonstrate nonstationary nature of this value.
Key words: nucleation, cells’ formation rate, cellular decomposition, period of instability, annealing.
