Recrystallization behavior and mechanical properties of a Cu–15Ni–8Sn(P) alloy during prior deformation and aging treatment

The effects of deformation on the aging precipitation behavior, recrystallization behavior and mechanical properties of Cu–15Ni–8Sn and Cu–15Ni–8Sn-0.2P alloys were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission spectroscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. The results showed that during the aging process, the transformation from DO22 to the L12 ordered phase was restrained after cold deformation. However,...
