M. Spanl et al., INTERACTION OF DEFORMATION AND SHORT-RANGE ORDER DURING POST-DEFORMATION ANNEALING IN ALPHA-CUAL, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 234, 1997, pp. 541-543
A study of post-deformation annealing was made on Cu-15at.%Al cold-rol
led to about 60% reduction in thickness. Starting from results as meas
ured by electrical resistivity, changes of simultaneous defect recover
y and short-range ordering (SRO) were compared with microhardness meas
urements. It is shown that changes of SRO can be carefully separated f
rom simultaneously occurring processes of defect recovery. Further, SR
O-kinetics in the deformed state is compared with that of completely r
ecrystallized state. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
