The Influence of Pre-deformation on Minority Phases Precipitation in Modified AW-3003 Aluminium

Abstract

Zirconium added to aluminium alloys may under suitable conditions form metastable Al3Zr precipitates, which pin moving grain boundaries and thus shift recrystallization to higher temperatures.
