Studies on Al-Zr alloys (4th Report)* ARAKI Takashi** KOMORI Shinichi** A part of precipitation hardening can be detected in hardness-annealing temperature curve which has been plotted for examining recrystallization characteristics. The principal object of this study is to examine precipitation phenomena of Al-Zr alloys. The results were summarized as follows. (1) Chilled ingots of Al-Zr alloys were age hardened at 300-500℃ both in as cast and as cold rolled state. (2) Two-stepped aging
