β¦ Synopsis
Grain growth experiments have been performed with zone-refined tin of very high purity. A single growth law obeying the simple t'iz relation was obtained over the range of temperatures 167"C-220Β°C. The activation energy for grain growth was calculated to be 6.0 & 0.6 kcal/g atom, which is comparable to the previous result of 6.7 l 0.7 kcal/g atom on zone-refined lead. Application of the equation for grain growth, as developed by Burke and Turnbull, yielded free energies of activation comparable in magnitude to those obtained in liquid self-diffusion.

KORNWACHSTUM IN ZONENGEREINIGTEM ZINN Mit zonengereinigtem Zinn sehr hoher Reinheit wurden Kornwachstumsversuche angestellt. Im Temperaturbereich von 167Β°C bis 220Β°C ergab sich ein einheitliches Wachstumsgesetz, das der einfachen t1i2-Beziehung folgt. Die Aktivierungsenergie fiir das Kornwachstum wurde zu 6,0 & 0,6 kcal/g atom berechnet, sie ist vergleichbar mit dem friiheren Erggebnis von 6,7 + 0,7 kcal/g Atom an zonengereinigtern Blei. Die Anwendung der von Burke und Turnbull entwickelten Gleichungen fiir das Kornwachstum lieferte freie Aktivierungsenergien, die griissenordnungsmiissig vergleichbar sind mit denjenigen, die sich aus der Selbstdiffusion im fliissigen Zustand ergeben.
2. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Preliminary experiments on Johnson and Matthey spectrographically pure tin indicated that the cast structure had an effect on grain growth after deformation and subsequent recrystallization.
This was not found to be the case with zone-refined tin, which suggests that it was the result of non-uniform distribution of impurity in the as-cast Johnson and Matthey tin. Nevertheless, to eliminate any possible effects of the as-cast structure, and also to provide flat surfaces, the cast buttons of zone-refined tin *

## Grain growth experiments have been performed with zone-refined lead of very high purity over the range of temperatures, 16S-318Β°C. A single growth law was observed whose departure from a simple t\*'l relation could be explained on the basis of an inclusion-type hypothesis following Burke. The a
Following the general procedures previously presented for zone-refined lead, experiments were performed to observe the effects on grain growth of small added quantities of tin, silver or gold. For any particular concentration, a single growth law was observed over the temperature range investigated.
