| The effect of plastic deformation on the activation energy of recovery and recrystalization temperature of 99.9% purity polycrystalline Aluminum was investigated. The 10%, 20% and 29% cold compressed aluminum specimen were prepared from 4.75 ㎜ diameter cold drawn rod. From the hardness data obtained by isochronal annealing of one hour between the temperature range of 240℃-330℃ under hydrogen atmosphere, the recrystallization temperatures for 10% and 29% cold compressed were measured to be 304℃ and 285℃ respectively. On the other hand, from the hardness data obtained by isothermal annealing at the temperature range of 290℃-330℃, the activation energy of recovery for 10%, 20% and 29% cold compressed were deduced as 29,600, 25,200 and 22,500 ㎈/㏖ respectively. The activation energy of recovery can be expressible in linear equation in terms of the stored energy of plastic deformation. |
