Fj. Humphreys et Hm. Chan, DISCONTINUOUS AND CONTINUOUS ANNEALING PHENOMENA IN ALUMINUM-NICKEL ALLOY, Materials science and technology, 12(2), 1996, pp. 143-148
The annealing behaviour of an Al-6 wt-% Ni alloy containing a dispersi
on of second phase particles has been studied. It is shown that for a
particle diameter of 0.3 mu m, annealing takes place by extended recov
ery. However, for a particle diameter of 1.7 mu m, discontinuous recry
stallisation occurs. The relationship between continuous and discontin
uous annealing phenomena is discussed, and measurements of the particl
e limited subgrain and grain diameters are compared with theory. (C) 1
