In this paper, the traceability of copper from the anode to the cathode and then the wire rod has been studied in terms of impurity content, microstructure, texture, recrystallization kinetics, and ductility. These characterizations were obtained based on secondary ion mass spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, HV hardness, and electron backscattered diffract...

Recrystallization in copper deformed by dynamic plastic deformation was investigated using electron backscatter diffraction. The recrystallized grains show a broad size distribution. The kinetics of grains of different sizes is observed to be different: In the beginning of recrystallization, the area fraction of small recrystallized grains increases rapidly. At later stages of recrystallization...

steel 2205 is one of the most famous duplex stainless steels. the microstructure of this steel composed of ferrite and austenite in similar amount. therefore, in order to improve mechanical properties through microstructure, thermo mechanical processes such as controlled hot rolling and forging should be applied. it is not possible to employ the usual heat treatment. it shows the importance of ...

Total scattering pair distribution function (TSPDF) analysis of synchrotron X-ray diffraction data has been used to study the structural characteristics of amorphous lactose and its subsequent recrystallization on aging. This shows that the recrystallization kinetics vary substantially between spray dried, lyophilized, and melt quenched samples aged at 40 °C/75% relative humidity (RH), although...

The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hot-rolled AA1050. Samples prepared from a hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The spatial orientation variation within the deformed microstructure of nucleation, growth and orientations of recrystallized grains is examined. The microstructural ...

In this study, two CCCT diagrams are drawn to be compared with a CCT diagram. The CCCT diagrams represent continuous cooling transformations in stress assisted state. The increased Md and Bd temperatures of CCCT diagrams were also compared with those of the CCT diagrams and the cause was investigated from both thermodynamic and metallurgical viewpoints. Thermodynamic examinations revealed that ...

Magnetic Shape-Memory (MSM) materials are a new category of actuator materials with the potential to produce both large actuator strain and rapid response. To explore the possibility of developing MSM materials based on Fe-Ni-Co-Ti alloys, the effects of chemical composition (Co/Ni ratio) and ausaging on microstructure and magnetic shapememory response were studied. A suitable choice of chemica...
