This can be proved by a much higher recrystalliztion temperature （450 ~C） than Al-Mg-Mn alloy without Sc and Zr （150 ℃）. The main reason of the great increase of recrystallization temperature can be attributed to the strong pinning effect of highly disperseded Al3（Sc,Zr） particles on dislocations and sub-grain boundaries. The recrystallizing process reveals itself the nucleation mechanism of the alloy involving not only the sub-grain coalescence but also the sub-grain growth.展开更多
