Abstract
The results are reported of an investigation of quenched-in prismatic dislocation loops in super-purity aluminum. Some new effects have been observed: in particular, that loops tend to be grouped in clusters containing a surplus of loops of one orientation; that more than four loop orientations are realized; and that often pairs of similarly oriented and similarly shaped loops are present in the quenched material. It is concluded that vacancies aggregate into three dimensional clusters, containing from a few to a few hundred or even thousand vacancies, before being converted into prismatic loops.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
