Activation energy (migration defects) in 7075 aircraft alloys by positron annihilation lifetime technique (PALT)
Positron annihilation lifetime is one of the most important nuclear techniques, used to study the isochronal and isothermal annealing in aircraft (7075) alloy. Samples of 25 % deformation have been used for these studies. One recovery stage during the isochronal annealing [1] was observed which attributed to recovery of dislocations induced by the deformation. The isothermal annealing measurements were performed at 643, 663, 683 and 703 K from which the activation energy is obtained as 1.35 +/- 0.16 eV.
