Abstract
Recrystallization kinetics of aluminum with various purities from 99.5 to 99.999(5N) has been investigated in this study. Aluminum plates of 10 mm thickness with various purities were solution-treated at 400oC for 24 hrs and then rolled into sheets of 50 μm thickness at room temperature. Cold rolling was conducted on samples with various purities from 99.9 to 99.999 including commercial AA 1050 Al alloy and high purity through about 20 passes to obtain thin foils of 50 μm thickness. Accumulative rolling was employed when sample thickness reached at 1 mm and thin foils were successfully obtained for all samples. Hardness was measured just after cold rolling at room temperature as a function of time up to 1hr to elucidated recrystallization behavior. For aluminum with 99.999% purity, recrystallization occurred after 200 s and finished at 360 s. Recrystallization kinetics of aluminum at high temperatures from 100 to 350oC were investigated by measure hardness after annealing thin foils for various time intervals ranging from 1 s to 24 hrs. For high purity sample with 99.999% purity, recrystallization finished just after 1 s even at the relatively low temperature of 100oC, while recrystallization of commercial AA 1050 (2N) alloy finished after 360 s at 350oC.
