Abstract

The drawn copper wires have been analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a new method, which uses DSC measurements to determine the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) exponent via introducing Arrhenius behavior and modifying the baseline of DSC curves, has been proposed. The results show that JMAK exponent and recrystallization activation energy of the drawn copper wires with a strain of 2.77 are about 2.39 and 125 kJ/mol, respectively. The line linking the tangency points of DSC curve hypotenuse can be used as the baseline when calculating recrystallization fraction. The JMAK exponent obtained by the DSC method is in a good agreement with that obtained by microhardness measurements. Compared to traditional methods to measure the exponent, the proposed method is faster and less labor intensive.
