Pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance proved to be a new complementary technique for the study of moving dislocations in Al—base alloys. Spin—lattice relaxation measurements clearly indicate that fluctuations in the quadrupolar field caused by moving dislocations in Al—base alloys are different compared to those in ultra—pure Al. From the motion induced part of the spin—lattice relaxation rate the mean jump distance of mobile dislocations has been determined as a function of strain. Measurements have been performed on Al—Cu, Al—Li and Al—Zn binary alloys. Asa typical illustration of the strength of this technique, this paper reports the resultsobtained of Al—(1—2 at%) Zn solid solution.
