Enhanced precipitate growth at reduced temperatures during chemical ordering in deformed red gold alloys

Nadine Baluc, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Marina Garcia Gonzalez, Samy Hocine

Manufacturing of red gold components relies widely on controlling the formation of ordered precipitates during thermo-mechanical processing. The ordered phase hardens the material, makes it less workable and introduces residual stresses. We show that an in ...
