Metallurgical Transactions Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A study of grain growth in dilute cadmium and lead base alloys has revealed that there are four stages of grain growth as a function of annealing temperature and solute concentration. One of these stages, which can result in a substantial change in grain size, involves irregular grain growth or secondary recrystallization.
