Abstract

A supersaturated solid solution of 1.67 at. pct Cu in Fe has a lower temperature dependence of the yield stress (prestrained 0.2 pct at 368°K) than pure iron over the temperature range 77° to 298°K. No change in temperature dependence is observed on aging to form copper clusters (1 hr at 475°C) but after precipitation of ε the temperature dependence is the same as in pure iron. The activation volume at 77°K is unaffected by treatment in the alloy and the amount of deformation. The value is essentially the same as in iron. It was suggested that copper clusters present after aging 1 hr as well as dissolved copper assist formation of double kinks at 77°K reducing the stress required to surmount the Peierls barrier. Addition of 0.5 at. pct Au also reduced the temperature dependence of iron.
