摘要
The precipitation behavior in Fe-Cu binary allow was investigated undertransmission electron microscope (TEM) during aging at 650 deg C for the time range of 100 s to 300h. In addition to the zones with higher copper content and epsilon-Cu were observed, a metastablephase with B2-like structure was found in the early stage of the precipitation process, which isquite different from the equilibrium copper phase shown in the Fe-Cu binary phase diagram and hasperfect coherent relationship to the alpha-Fe matrix. The appearance of B2-like structure is veryimportant concerning the mechanism of aging strengthening effect and mechanical properties ofcorresponding engineering steels and alloys containing copper.
