The consistent and computationally efficient stochastic statistical approach (SSA) is suggested to study kinetics of nucleation and evolution of nano-sized precipitates in alloys. An important parameter of the theory is the size of locally equilibrated regions at the nucleation stage which is estimated using the "maximum thermodynamic gain" principle suggested. For several realistic models of iron-copper alloys studied, the results of the SSA-based simulations of precipitation kinetics agree well with the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation results for all main characteristics of microstructure. The approach developed is also used to study kinetics of nucleation and changes in microstructural evolution under variations of temperature or concentration.
