Abstrakt: The anneal hardening behavior of a Cu-16 at. pct. Al alloy was investigated by tensile testing, measurement of Young's modulus and electrical resistivity, and electron microscopy. It was shown that three main stages of annealing processes can be distinguished. Stage 1 at T ≤ 150°C is characterized by vacancy annihilation and short-range diffusional processes giving rise to three successive, low maxima in yield and tensile strength. Substages in this temperature range are also evident from resistivity measurements. Stage 2 at 150 ≲ 275°C is essentially associated with solute segregation to dislocations giving rise to the main increase in flow stress. In Stage 3 at 725 ≤ T ≤ 350°C recrystallization takes place.
