Abstract | ||||
Increasing zinc content up to 28 wt. % zinc was found to increase stress level and ductility. Degrees of cold drawing up to 99% reduction in cross sectional area increase stress level while decrease ductility for the different Cu- Zn alloys studied. Annealing after cold drawing increases ductility but decreases stress level. Abrupt decrease in ductility was observed after high temperature annealing of highly drawn wires and specially for alloys, with high Zn content. The results were discussed according to current solid solution hardening mechanisms, roughening of slip planes, locking of extended dislocations and difficulty of cross slipping. | ||||
