Abstract

A technique is described for the study of the early stages of precipitation hardening in single-crystalline and poly crystalline copperberyllium alloys. Since no trace of the equilibrium precipitate responsible for hardening can be detected by ordinary X-ray or metallographic techniques prior to the onset of overaging, the described method is based on the changes produced in the matrix as the result of the formation of aggregates along preferred lattice planes. Such formations produce accommodation strains in the matrix lattice which, can be detected as a change in the intensity and angular range of matrix reflection.

An interpretation of the age hardening sequence in a copper - beryllium, alloy after isothermal annealing is presented in terms of fundamental transformations.
