Effect of hardening temperature on the disintegration kinetics of the Al-10 at. % Zn alloy

The existence of the Al-10 at. % Zn alloy at temperatures above the equilibrium curve below about 350°C in the K state is investigated here by the methods of diffusion x-ray scattering, small-angle scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and microhardness measurements.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 3–8, April, 1986.In conclusion, the author wishes to express his gratitude to Professor H. Loeffler and to the assistants and instructors at the N. K. Krupskaya Teachers' College in Halle (GDR) for their aid in carrying out these studies with various methods, as well as for their active participation in the discussion of the results obtained.
