Abstract
The internal friction of cold-worked polycrystalline aluminum has been measured in the temperature range of l00K to 290K, at frequencies of 10 and 5MHZ, using a conventional ultrasonic pulse technique with a single transducer. Temperature, height and shape of the internal friction peak were studied as a function of the magnitude of stress used in the prior deformation. The results show a large decrease in the peak temperature as the deformation is increased followed by as light increase as the deformation is continued. An increase in the height of the peak, and decrease in the activation energy has been observed by increasing the deformation.
