Abstract: The characteristics of the low frequency internal friction and the modulus effect associated with the non-equilibrium spinodal pretransformation and the following discontinuous trans- formation was investigated in an as-quenched eutectiod Al-Zn alloy.It was observed that the loss of the stability in the lattice,which corresponded to the large-amplitude long-wavelength static concentration wave in the non-equilibrium spinodal pretransformation,did not induce any effect of localized soft modulus.Although there are two aging internal friction peaks in phase transformation which correspond to the appearance and disappearance of the coherency in spinodal pretransformation and the maximum of the interface area in the discontinuous transformation respectively,the effect of localized soft modulus did not take place yet.

Key words: spinodal pretransformation, soft modulus, discontinuous transformation, internal friction
