Cluster dynamics simulations in multicomponents alloys emphasize the complexity of the respective roles of atomic mobility and thermodynamics in the precipitation path. Some heuristic assumptions, like the maximum driving force criterion, used in conventional treatments, may fail and need to be carefully revisited at the light of these results.
