Cd wires of purity 99.998 at% were quenched from T Q = 503 and 543 °K to 78 °K. Resistivity changes upon an isochronal and isothermal annealing were studied in the temperature range 78 to 430 °K. In the specimens investigated four recovery intervals were observed and in three of them recovery kinetics and activation energies were determined. The possible role of vacancies is discussed.
