Abstract: The evolution of spherical clusters in a supersaturated binary alloy in the region of metastable states has been simulated using the Cahn–Hilliard equation. The cases of dissolution, growth, and stationarity of a cluster have been considered. Specific features of the evolution of the concentration profile for the cluster dissolution and growth regimes have been revealed. Approximate expressions for calculating the growth rate of clusters have been obtained.
