Effects of Zn Content on the Grain Growth Law of Ag-Cu-Zn Alloys

Grain growth behaviors of Ag-Cu-Zn alloys with different contents of Zn were studied at various heat treatment temperatures and for different holding time. The experimental results show that the grain grows along with the increase of the holding time. The higher the content of Zn is, the larger the grain size will be under the same holding time. The grain growth exponent n increases and the grain growth active energy Q decreases with the increase of the content of Zn
