Abstract
It has been established that, during heat treatment of an Al-Mg alloy, the presence of any oxygen in the annealing atmosphere causes a profound change in the recovery behaviour. This creation of substitutional MgO complexes has been suggested as the reason behind this anomaly. These complexes cause a permanent contamination of the sample.Keywords
