THE ANNEALING OF EXPLOSIVELY DEFORMED COPPER. I. THE PRE-SOFTENING STAGES.

Abstract

OFHC copper explosively deformed at pressures between 75 and 435 kilobars is found to be characterized by high residual stresses, compressive near the surface and tensile further in. Annealing after such deformation is indicated to take place in three somewhat overlapping stages. Property changes associated with the first two stages, and possible interpretation of the effects, are discussed in detail. The third stage--the major softening stage--is treated briefly as an introduction to a more complete treatment to be given in a subsequent report. (Author)
