A further study of the incubation period of the age-hardening of aluminum-copper alloys

Turnbull’s transient nucleation theory, when applied to the transformation that takes place when high purity aluminum-copper alloys are quenched directly to the aging temperature, explains the incubation period that precedes steady state nucleation. This incubation period arises from the comparative...
