Abstract

The kinetic grain growth has been determined in a Cu-Zn-Al-Mn alloy by the calculation of different grain-size parameters (perimeter, minimum and maximum diameter) and the ratio of the grain-boundary area per unit volume from measurements obtained at different temperatures and heat-treatment times. The growth order and activation energy have been evaluated.
