Abstract
Recrystallization behaviors of cold-worked and $\beta$-quenched Zr-Zn alloys were investigated by the microhardness tests and microscopic examinations. The recrystallization of the $\beta$-quenched alloys was retarded in comparison with that of the cold-worked alloys, suggesting that the stored energy of the cold-worked alloys is larger than that of the $\beta$-quenched alloys. Although initial hardness for the cold-worked and the $\beta$-quenched specimens had an equal value, the recrystallization behaviors were observed to be quite different. Based on the transmission electron microscope(TEM) studies, it was suggested that the recrystallization of the cold-worked specimen would have occurred by subgrain coalescence while that of $\beta$-quenched specimen by strain-induced grain boundary migration.
냉간가공과 베타급냉된 Zr-Sn 합금의 재결정 거동을 미소경도 시험과 미세 조직 관찰 방법에 의해서 조사하였다. 베타급냉 처리된 합금의 재결정은 냉간가공된 합금의 재결정보다 늦게 일어났는데, 이는 냉간 가공에 의해 도입된 축적에너지가 더 높다는 것을 의미한다. 냉간가공재와 베타급냉재의 초기 경도는 동일하지라도 재결정거동은 아주 다르게 나타났다. TEM 조직관찰 결과를 근거로 할 때, 냉간가공재는 subgrain합체에 의해서 재결정이 일어나며 베타급냉재는 응력유기 입계이동에 의해서 재결정이 일어나는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
