摘要
Recrystallization of cold-rolled discontinuous, precipitation microstructurewhich has fine laminar structure in an Al-40 percent Zn (atom fraction) binary alloy is investigatedby optical microscopy, SEM and TEM. It is found that there are two kinds of recrystallizationmechanisms: continuous coarsening (CC) and discontinuous coarsening (DC). The latter can be dividedinto coarsening mainly driven by stored deformation energy at colony boundaries and slip bands andthe one mainly driven by boundary energy in the area with little deformation. It is shown that theaddition of Cu can retard the nucleation of coarsening cells and their growth. X-Ray diffractionanalysis indicated the metastable phase CuZn_4 transformed into equilibrium phase A;_4Cu_3Zn duringthe heating process.
