Abstract
The present paper describes the preparation of AlAgCu (20% wt. Ag; 3.5% wt. Cu) alloy single crystals by the strain-anneal method. The effect of the following variables upon the growth of single crystals of alloys with limited solid solubility is discussed: the history of the specimen, the critical strain, the temperature gradient, the temperature and the rate of growth.
