Abstract
MUCH has been written of the growth of the component crystalline grains which occurs when a metal is maintained at a constant high temperature, but hitherto no simple law of growth appears to have been established. Working with cadmium, we have found laws which hold with precision for that metal. Whether they hold for other metals, in particular for metals of face-centred cubic structure, is a matter which we propose to investigate.
