Im. Kovenskii et Vv. Povetkin, STRESS REDUCTION IN ELECTRODEPOSITED METALS AND ALLOYS ON ANNEALING, Russian metallurgy. Metally, (3), 1993, pp. 182-184
A change of internal stresses (IS) is studied for the case of low temp
erature annealing of electrolytical metal coatings produced from comme
rcial electrolytes at stationary regimes. A decrease of IS is stared t
o take place at a temperature of about (0.15-0.20)T-melt of the deposi
t, when the migration and annihilation of point defects proceed most i
ntensively. Heating to (0.27-0.35)T-melt leads to a complete IS Reliev
