Effect of thermal cycling on intracrystalline heterogeneity and the structure of Cu+11% Sn

Thermal cycling in the temperature range of the eutectoid transformation in the Cu+11% Sn alloy induces plastic deformation, recrystallization, and accelerated mass transfer.TCT first leads to elimination of intercrystalline and phase heterogeneity and then to recovery (reversal). These changes in the alloy are accompanied by a change in the type of growth, size, and structure of the fcc mother phase and eutectoid.Thermal cycling in the range of 750⇆500° leads to texture of the <100> type in the α solid solution.
