Lattice distortion in cold-worked metals

Abstract

Measurements of the intensities of x-ray reflections from cold-worked metals indicate that in this respect the lattice distortion resembles a frozen heat motion. Experiments by Hengstenberg and Mark, Boas, Brill, Fricke and his collaborators are quoted in addition to those by the writer. It is shown that with filed powders of Cu, Ni and Rh, the intensity effect decreases in this order.
