Abstract
Measurements of the heat dissipated upon the sudden, rapid deformation of Cu and Cu—3.2 at. % Sn were made. The results suggest that in Cu, about 10% of the work of deformation is stored as divacancies, which anneal out in about 2 min near room temperature. In Cu—3.2 at. % Sn, it appeared that 20% of the work of deformation is stored as vacancies trapped at tin atoms. These anneal out very slowly.
