The effects of aging precipitation on the recrystallization of CuNiSiCr alloy

Abstract

The interaction between precipitation and recrystallization and its effect on the properties of the Cu−Ni−Si−Cr alloy during aging were discussed. The results show that the deformation results in much more dispersed precipitation of the phases. The precipitations have accelerating or retarding effects on the recrysiallization. On the formation and growth of recrystallization, the precipitated phases are coarsed or dissolved in front of grain boundaries following a re-precipitation in the recrystallization area.
