Abstract
Internal friction spectra and microdeformation curves of low temperature deformed iron are shown. The two intrinsic relaxation peaks α and γ are related to the nucleation of double kinks on respectively non-screw and screw dislocations. The unexpected characteristics of the γ peak for an intrinsic dislocation peak are explained by the thermal instability of the screw dislocation network generated by low temperature deformation under the action of the internal stresses.
