Aa. Matvienko et al., THE INFLUENCE OF RELAXATION OF STRESSES OCCURRING DURING THE BETA-]ALPHA TRANSFORMATION OF TIN ON THE KINETICS OF THE TRANSFORMATION, Solid state ionics, 101, 1997, pp. 641-645
The influence of relaxation of stresses occurring during the beta -->
alpha transformation of tin on the kinetics of the transformation has
been studied. It has been shown that a change in conditions of stress
relaxation brings about a change in (5 x 10(-6) < h < 3 x 10(-3) m) an
d by introducing impurity atoms of Ge (0.1 < c < 0.3 at.%). The mechan
ism of the influence of stress relaxation on the transformation kineti
cs has been suggested.
