  • Descrição: The transformations of a Cu-10wt%Ni-5.5wt%Sn alloy as a function of the aging time in the range from room temperature up to 600 °C have been followed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The results obtained have shown that this alloy undergone two overlapping exothermic phase transitions with DSC peaks at 208 °C and 305 °C, respectively, followed by an endothermic phase transformation with a DSC peak at 526 °C. The structural analysis by TEM, ED, EDX and XRD of the intermediates phases previously discriminated by DSC suggests that the first exothermic peak is associated to the spinodal decomposition of the sample, while the second one is associated to the segregation of a DO22 (CuxNi1−x)3Sn tetragonal phase coherent with the α-Cu structure of the starting alloy. The endothermic peak has been associated to the precipitation of cubic DO3 nanocrystals from the DO22 phase previously formed. The microhardness measurements carried out in combination with the structural characterization demonstrate that the aging hardening of the alloy under study is exclusively due to the formation of the coherent DO22 phase. The DO22 → DO3 transition leads to a dramatic drop of the hardness of the alloy. [Display omitted] •Aging steps have been discriminated from DSC.•Spinodal decomposition does not promote the strengthening of the alloy.•The liability of the aging hardening rests exclusively on the formation of a DO22 tetragonal phase of (CuxNi1−x)3Sn.•The DO22 → γ DO3 phase transition is an endothermic process, contrarily to previous assumptions in literature.
