-- have a small dislocation density
-- are small
-- consume cold-worked grains.

•  TR = recrystallization temperature = point of highest rate of
property change

–  Tm => TR ≈ 0.3-0.6 Tm (K)

–  Due to diffusion  annealing time TR = f(t) shorter annealing time =>

higher TR

–  Higher %CW => lower TR – strain hardening

–  Easier to move in pure metals => lower TR

 • How do flaws in a material initiate failure?
• How is fracture resistance quantified; how do different
material classes compare?

• How do we estimate the stress to fracture?

• How do loading rate, loading history, and temperature
affect the failure stress?
