Zusammenfassung:The possibilities of calorimetric methods like DSC and heat flow microcalorimetry for transformation studies in Aluminium alloys are demonstrated. The influence of pre-existing nuclei upon decomposition rate at various temperatures is described; unassisted nucleation of equilibrium precipitates seems to be confined to a narrow temperature range. Equilibrium precipitates of small size are dissolved simultaneously with metastable phases, thereby complicating the interpretation of DSC-curves.
