Abstract

The grain boundary internal friction peak (GBP) of AlMg polycrystals has been measured in an inverted torsion pendulum. The height of the GBP is greatly suppressed GBP recovers after annealing at an Al-2.4wt.%Mg and Al-6.0wt.%Mg specimens. This suppressed GBP recovers after annealing at an elevated temperature. Phase analysis by X-ray diffraction techniques indicates that this process is accompanied by formation and dissolution of AlMg metastable phase particles which are introduced by non-equilibrium segregation of magnesium atoms at grain boundaries after quenching. A suitable interpretation based on numerical estimation is given.
