Continued from the preceding experiment, the effects of cold-work and annealing on the rigidity of copper wire are observed by the method of torsion pendulum. This time, cold-twisted copper wires are employed as the specimens.
The results obtained are as follows. (Fig. 1). (1). From a certain annealing temperature T1', the rigidity becomes almost constant. (2). From another temperature T2', the rigidity decreases very rapidly. (3). The temperatures T1', T2' shift upward with the decrease of the degree of cold-work assigned to the specimens.
From the above and previous results, the cause of the increase of rigidity of cold-drawn copper wire by low temperature annealing is discussed.
