Y. Liu et al., INTERNAL-FRICTION OF FE-N MARTENSITE AT LOW-TEMPERATURE, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 231(1-2), 1997, pp. 183-188
The internal friction behaviour of a binary Fe-N martensite is obtaine
d by using a torsion pendulum. Results show that during heating the as
-quenched martensite from 82 to 350 K three major internal friction pe
aks appear. Activation energies of the corresponding processes are det
ermined to be 0.37, 0.31 and 1.26 eV, respectively. A preliminary inte
rpretation is proposed. Dislocation relaxation processes and interacti
ons with interstitial atoms seem to be the major reason for the intern
al friction behaviour. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
