Pore shrinkage and Ostwald ripening in metallic systems. Annual progress report, July 1, 1980-June 30, 1981
The size distribution function derived by Kuczynski for the case of a system of pores in a solid matrix may be satisfactorily applied to the case of particles in a matrix as well. A wide variety of properties of this function are presented for the situation of sufficiently large average particle size for which case the function may be approximated by setting one of its terms equal to unity. For the more general situation, however, four parameters, lambda(t), n(T), A(t) and ..beta..(T), where t = time and T = temperature, are required to fit theory and experiment, for which several examples are presented. A variety of techniques for extracting these parameters from an empirical size distribution are being investigated.
