The crystal structure, stability and nucleation behavior of precipitates on $\{$111$\}$ habit planes (hereafter called $\{$111$\}$ precipitates) in an Al-3.9Cu-0.5Mg-0.5Ag (wt.%) alloy were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, including selected-area diffraction (SAD), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high resolution TEM (HRTEM) and image simulations, and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The studies included early-stage precipitates formed by quenching and aging with or without cold-work as well as direct aging treatments and large well-developed precipitates formed by aging at temperatures up to the $\theta$ solvus.

520 $a The crystal structure, stability and nucleation behavior of precipitates on $\{$111$\}$ habit planes (hereafter called $\{$111$\}$ precipitates) in an Al-3.9Cu-0.5Mg-0.5Ag (wt.%) alloy were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, including selected-area diffraction (SAD), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high resolution TEM (HRTEM) and image simulations, and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The studies included early-stage precipitates formed by quenching and aging with or without cold-work as well as direct aging treatments and large well-developed precipitates formed by aging at temperatures up to the $\theta$ solvus.
520 $a It was found that the $\{$111$\}$ precipitates form independent of previously precipitated G.P. zones. No evidence of a precursor phase was found by either TEM or HRTEM. These precipitates nucleate with a thickness of one unit-cell in terms of the orthorhombic $\Omega$ structure model (or $\theta$ structure rotates 45$\sp\circ$) with pure Al atoms in the precipitate structure adjacent to the $\{$111$\}$ matrix planes. Dislocations are not required during nucleation process. The $\{$111$\}$ precipitates could formed homogeneously in the matrix or heterogeneously at dislocations. However, the formation of the $\{$111$\}$ precipitates only possible when Mg atoms were associated in the nucleation mechanisms to reduce the activation free energy, the formation of this phase only can be heterogeneous nucleation.
520 $a It was shown that the $\{$111$\}$ precipitate is a $\{$111$\}\sb{\rm Al}$ variant of the $\theta$ phase previously designated as Vaughan II-type $\theta.$ Since the $\{$111$\}$ precipitate is one variant of $\theta$ phase and quenched-in defects do not promote precipitation of $\{$111$\}$ precipitates, it appears that the role of Mg + Ag on the precipitation process is mainly to influence the thermodynamic factor and then augment the nucleation rate. The mechanism is thought to be a catalytic reaction, where Mg is a catalyst which lowers the activation free energy by segregating to $\{$111$\}\sb{\rm Al}$/precipitate interfaces, while Ag acts to prevent formation of S phase (or G.P.B. zones) thereby leaving free Mg to stimulate nucleation of the $\{$111$\}$ precipitates instead of the metastable $\theta\sp\prime$ phase. The interaction of Mg + Ag in the precipitation process therefore appears to provide an alternative path for precipitation of the $\theta$ phase on the $\{$111$\}\sb{\rm Al}$ habit planes.
