The influence of additions of 2, 4, 6 and 8 wt.% Ag on the recrystallization kinetics of the Cu-5wt.%Al alloy cold-rolled to reductions up to 40, 70 and 90% was studied using the intercept method for measurements of mean grain size changes with time and temperature. The results indicated a decrease in the grain growth rate and in the activation energy with the increase of silver concentration.
