Abstract

It is known that the phase-decomposition process of 60/40 Cu-Zn alloy is so-called the bainitic transformation, and decomposition of α-phase from the β'-phase is as follow: β' → α9R → αfcc. In this work, decomposition of α-phase from the β' single phase of Cu-40.26at.%Zn alloy has been investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) to understand the phase transformation of this alloy. Especially, striations in the α-phase has been focused on the special feature for the change of the structure and hardening of this alloy during annealing. The result of a comparison between this alloy and the Si added alloy is also reported.
