Nucleation of voids in metals during diffusion and creep

JOM Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Experimental evidence is presented which proves that voids formed during diffusion in brass are heterogeneously nucleated. The nuclei appear to be oxide particles, probably ZnO. When these are removed by remelting, practically no voids form upon subsequent dezincification. Brass which had been freed of void nucleation catalysts exhibited a considerably reduced tendency for grain boundary cracking during creep, and increased stress-rupture life.
