Abstract
Pure aluminum was irradiated at about 90°K using 2-MeV electrons. Isochronal and isothermal annealing studies were carried out. The isochronal anneals were for 10 and 30 min at temperatures 10°C apart. The isothermals were for 64 min at temperatures 20°C apart. The major results were: Stage III occurs by a second-order process with activation energy eV. From the fact that this activation energy agrees well with that observed after quenching, it is concluded that stage III in aluminum occurs by vacancy migration.
