Abstract
Earlier work by the authors determined the dislocation density as a function of time in aluminum single crystals annealed near the melting temperature using etch-pits. It was found that the dislocation density is stable and unchanged even with annealing times up to one year for statically annealed Al single crystals with an initially low dislocation density. As several investigators have suggested that etch-pits are not reliable compared to transmission electron microscopy in assessing the dislocation density, the current study utilized x-ray topography at a synchrotron for dislocation density measurements. This work, then, is a short paper complementing the authors earlier work by using a new, reliable, but rarely utilized non-destructive technique to measure the dislocation density. The results confirm the trend of the earlier study using etch-pits by the authors.
