Abstract
Features of structure formation and changes in microhardness of pre-deformed copper 99.9% Cu resulted from the effect of current pulses of high density (∼10 kA/mm2) and short durability (∼102 µs) at the heating rate of 106–107 K/s have been studied. The changes occurring are interpreted as a result of a rapid rate process of thermally activated recrystallization. The characteristics of the process are compared with the ones taking place during thermal annealing. The mechanisms responsible for the differences observed are discussed.
