CHAPTER 10- PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS IN METALS PROBLEM SOLUTIONS 10.6 For this problem, we are given, for the recrystallization of aluminum, two values of y and two values of the corresponding times, and are asked to determine the fraction recrystallized after a total time of 116.8 min. The first thing necessary is to set up two expressions of the form of Equation (10.1), and then to solve simultaneously for the values of n and k. In order to expedite this process, we will rearrange and do some algebraic manipulation of Equation (10.1). First of all, we rearrange as follows: n 1 − y exp − kt ( ) Now taking natural logarithms n ln (1− y) =− kt n − ln (1 − y) kt which may also be expressed as  1  n ln   kt  1− y Now taking natural logarithms again, leads to   1   ln ln ln k + n lnt       1 − y  which is the form of the equation that we w
