The positron annihilation parameter (mean lifetime) increases with increasing Mg contents for annealed and quenched samples (50 XX ). Positron parameter τ, s (Doppler broadening) increase with increasing Q.T for the same (50 XX ). The preferred orientation is one of the most important parameters that can be observed by XRD for materials, for such measurements in our observation: the dependence of the preferred orientation on the Mg content, the dependence of the preferred orientation on the Q.T, and the dependence of the preferred orientation on the degree of deformation.

PLT and Doppler broadening S-parameter were used for Al – Mg alloy, namely 5005, 5051, 5052 and 5083. The trapping efficiency was estimated for the pervious alloys as 2.42 × 109, 2.29 × 109, 2.24 × 109 and 2.27 × 109 s -1 cm 3, respectively and the trapping cross-section was estimated to be as 2.66 × 10-16, 2.14 × 10-16, 2.10 × 10-16 and 3.51 × 10-16 cm 2, respectively. It is clear that the mean lifetime and S-parameter have the same behavior as a function of deformation degree and saturated at the same value of thickness reduction.

The behavior of 3d electrons and microdefects in binary Ti-Al alloys with Al contents from 47at.% to 53at.% have been studied by coincidence Doppler broadening and positron lifetime techniques. It has been found that the 3d electron signals in the spectra of binary Ti-Al alloys increase with Ti content. In Al-rich Ti-Al alloys, on increasing Al content, the open volume of defect on grain boundary increases while the density of free electron decreases. On the contrary, in Ti-rich Ti-Al alloys, on increasing Ti content, the open volume of defect on grain boundary decreases, and the electron density of the grain boundary increases.

PLT and the Doppler broadening S-parameter were used to characterize the Al-Mg alloys, AA5005, AA5051, AA5052 and AA5083. The trapping efficiencies of these alloys were estimated to be 2.42 x 109, 2.29 x 109, 2.24 x 109 and 2.27 x 109 s-1 cm3, respectively, and the corresponding trapping cross-sections were estimated to be 2.66 x 10-16, 2.14 x 10-16, 2.10 x 10-16 and 3.51 x 10-16 cm2. It was found to be very clear that the mean lifetime and S-parameter exhibited the same behaviour as a function of the degree of deformation, and that they saturated at the same degree of thickness reduction.

Positron annihilation has been performed in order to study the isochronal annealing of wrought (2024, 7075) and cast (AlSi11.35Mg0.23, AlSi10.9Mg0.17Sr0.06) aluminum alloys, at temperatures ranging from RT to 773K, after having been deformed at RT to 25% deformation. Two annealing stages of the microstructures were distinguished, which were attributed to recovery in (2024, AlSi11.35Mg0.23, AlSi10.9Mg0.17Sr0.06) due to point defects and dislocations, respectively, and only one (due to dislocations) in (7075). Also, natural aging for up to more than 650 days was studied as a function of mean lifetime.

Positron behavior at grain boundaries is characterized by their bulk diffusibility D, their bulk free lifetime τf and their trapped lifetime τt(τt > τf). AlSi 11.35 Mg 0.23, AlSi 10.9 Mg 0.17 Sr 0.06, 7075 and 2024 alloys have been homogenized at 673 K for 12 hours. The mean lifetime, as (indirectly) measured at various strains (degrees of deformation), show a good fitting with a FORTRAN program. τf and τt for the above materials are shown as: (187.3 ± 0.10, 229.7 ± 0.10), (198.0 ± 0.10, 230.3 ± 0.10), (205.4 ± 0.05, 213.4 ± 0.06) and (197.1 ± 0.55, 215.2 ± 0.57) Ps respectively. The mean lifetime was found to vary exponentially with the degree of deformation.

A new type of a positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) system has been set up at the superconducting electron accelerator ELBE [ at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. In contrast to existing source-based PALS systems, the approach described here makes use of an intense photon beam from electron bremsstrahlung which converts through pair production into positrons inside the sample under study. The article focusses on the production of intense bremsstrahlung using a superconducting electron linear accelerator, the production of positrons inside the sample under study, the efficient detector setup which allows for annihilation lifetime and Doppler-broadening spectroscopy simultaneously. Selected examples of positron annihilation spectroscopy are presented.
