Macroscopic slip planes were determined on specimens of different orientations, cut from a single crystal of Fe – 3% Si alloy after slow deformation [Formula: see text] by four-point bending at 77 °K. On the compression side of the specimens with orientations [Formula: see text] the slip planes were found to be very close to those with maximum resolved shear stress. On the compression side of the specimens with [Formula: see text] and on the tension side of specimens with [Formula: see text] (except the specimens with χ = ±30°) either crystallographic slip along {110} planes or large deviations of slip planes from maximum resolved shear stress planes to {110} planes were observed. The ψ(χ) curves obtained at 77 °K are compared with those obtained similarly at room temperature. The ψ(χ) curves for 77 °K cannot be explained microscopically on the basis of the composite slip on {110} and {112} planes if only the effect of the slip sense is assumed.

ABSTRACTA detailed study of deformation of NiAl single crystals in two soft orientations, <110> and <111>, has been conducted. The Schmid factor favors {100} slip in the former and {110} slip in the latter. Detailed dislocation analysis, critical resolved shear stress measurements, and slip trace analysis have been performed to determine the nature of dislocation motion and interactions in this material. Particular attention is given to prismatic loops formed during deformation, since the shapes of these loops reveal the active slip planes. Similar loop morphologies observed in elevated temperature [001] oriented tensile specimens are also discussed.

Langasite (La3Ga5SiO14: denoted by LGS) single crystal is one of the lead free piezoelectric materials with high piezoelectricity that is maintained up to its melting point (1470°C). Although LGS single crystals have usually been grown by Czochralski (CZ) method in oxygen contained atmosphere to prevent evaporation of Ga, they were grown by the vertical Bridgman (VB) method in Ar atmosphere without oxygen, and their properties were evaluated in this work. Transparent and colorless LGS single crystals were successfully obtained without Ga evaporation by the VB method in Ar atmosphere, and their resistivity at room temperature was much higher than that grown by conventional CZ method. Piezoelectric constant d11 of the crystal grown by the VB method was 6 x 10-12 C/N, which was close to that of the crystal grown by CZ method. The colorless transparent LGS single crystal turned to orange and its resistivity decreased by annealing in air. Since an orange-colored transparent LGS single crystal has been grown by conventional CZ method, this indicates that color change and the resistivity decrease of LGS crystal is caused by extra interstitial oxygen atoms in the crystal.

A single crystal stressed in the [3]𝛄 direction at 185°K was transformed to 5% 𝛂 martensite and 2% Ɛ martensite by volume. The austenite slip system of maximum shear stress is the (11)𝛄 [01)𝛄. Fig. 1 shows a two surface study using the electron and optical microscopes. The a martensite is confined between £martensite plates with the (0001)Ɛ ∥ (11)𝛄. The size of the acicular martensite crystals is controlled by the spacing of the £ martensite plates. These £ martensite plates are seen in Fig. 1A as dark vertical bands. The axes of the acicular crystals lie in the (11)𝛄 plane. The £ martensite habit plane is defined as the plane perpendicular to the (11)𝛄 containing the vector defining the crystal axis.

Mechanical properties of (001) Mo and (001) Mo – 1.5 at.% Ir single crystals have been studied by nanoindentation. It has been found that the iridium addition to molybdenum leads to an increase in both hardness and elastic modulus. An abrupt elasto-plastic transition (pop-in) at a depth of about 20 - 40 nm caused by dislocation nucleation in previously dislocation-free volume has been observed in the initial portion of the loading curve. It has shown that the Ir addition essentially affects the dislocation nucleation. Mean shear stress required for the dislocation nucleation increased from 10.8 GPa (G/12) for a Mo single crystal to 18.2 GPa (G/8) for the Mo – 1.5 at% Ir solid solution. Thus, the Ir solution in a Mo single crystal affects not only the resistance to the motion of dislocations (hardness) but the nucleation of them as well. The latter is likely to occur as a result of an increase in the structure perfection of the Mo – 1.5 at% Ir solid solution as compared to the pure Mo single crystal.

Hot section components in high performance aircraft and rocket engines are increasingly being made of single crystal nickel superalloys such as PWA1480, PWA1484, CMSX-4 and Rene N-4 as these materials provide superior creep, stress rupture, melt resistance and thermomechanical fatigue capabilities over their polycrystalline counterparts. Fatigue failures in PWA1480 single crystal nickel-base superalloy turbine blades used in the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) fuel turbopump are discussed. During testing many turbine blades experienced Stage II non-crystallographic fatigue cracks with multiple origins at the core leading edge radius and extending down the airfoil span along the core surface. The longer cracks transitioned from stage II fatigue to crystallographic stage I fatigue propagation, on octahedral planes. An investigation of crack depths on the population of blades as a function of secondary crystallographic orientation (β) revealed that for β = 45+/- 15 degrees tip cracks arrested after some growth or did not initiate at all. Finite element analysis of stress response at the blade tip, as a function of primary and secondary crystal orientation, revealed that there are preferential β orientations for which crack growth is minimized at the blade tip. To assess blade fatigue life and durability extensive testing of uniaxial single crystal specimens with different orientations has been tested over a wide temperature range in air and hydrogen. A detailed analysis of the experimentally determined Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) properties for PWA1480 and SC 7-14-6 single crystal materials as a function of specimen crystallographic orientation is presented at high temperature (75 F – 1800 F) in high-pressure hydrogen and air. Fatigue failure parameters are investigated for LCF data of single crystal material based on the shear stress amplitudes on the 24 octahedral and 6 cube slip systems for FCC single crystals. The max shear stress amplitude [Δτmax] on the slip planes reduces the scatter in the LCF data and is found to be a good fatigue damage parameter, especially at elevated temperatures. The parameter Δτmax did not characterize the room temperature LCF data in high-pressure hydrogen well because of the noncrystallographic eutectic failure mechanism activated by hydrogen at room temperature. Fatigue life equations are developed for various temperature ranges and environmental conditions based on power-law curve fits of the failure parameter with LCF test data. These curve fits can be used for assessing blade fatigue life.


The influence of very small quantities of impurity on the critical shear stress of metal single crystals has an important bearing on the mechanism of their plastic deformation. For investigations in this field, mercury is a very suitable metal: its impurity content can easily be reduced to an extremely low level (Hulett 1911) and it contains no dissolved gases (Hulett 1911). Also, as first pointed out by Andrade (1914), single crystal wires of this metal can be prepared without difficulty. The low melting point of mercury (-38∙8° C.) is far from being a disadvantage. The crystals can be maintained at -60° C., and at a temperature so near the melting point the thermal agitation may be expected to accentuate phenomena not observable at lower temperatures, if such agitation plays the important part in the mechanism of glide ascribed to it (Taylor 1934; Polanyi 1934; Orowan 1934). As a possible instance of this, the experiments to be described have revealed the existence of a preliminary “set” preceding the true plastic yield. Widely differing forms of slip band have also been observed, and are described elsewhere (Greenland 1937). It is hoped that these results will throw further light on the mechanism of glide.

[MnO2(1.0mol%) : Tb4O7(0.5mo%)] doped stoichiometric LiNbO3 (Mn:Tb:SLN) single crystals of 0.5~1.0 mm in diameter and 30~35 mm in length were grown by micro pulling down(µ-PD) method. We investigated the photoluminescence (PL) properties of Mn:Tb:SLN single crystal. The OH- absorption band of the single crystals observed infrared the absorption spectra by using an FT-IR spectrophotometer at room temperature. Homogeneous distributions of Mn and Tb concentration were confirmed by the EPMA and observed defects by optical microscopy.

A comprehensive numerical investigation of plasticity (slip) evolution near notches was conducted at 28°C and 927°C, for two crystallographic orientations of double-notched single crystal nickel base superalloys (SCNBS) specimens. The two specimens have a common loading orientation of &lt;001&gt; and have notches parallel to the &lt;010&gt; (specimen I) and &lt;110&gt; (specimen II) orientation, respectively. A three dimensional anisotropic linear elastic finite element model was employed to calculate the stress field near the notch of these samples. Resolved shear stress values were obtained near the notch for the primary octahedral slip systems ({111} &lt;110&gt;) and cube slip systems ({100} &lt;110&gt;). The effect of temperature was incorporated in the model as changes in the elastic modulus values and the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS). The results suggest that the number of dominant slip systems (slip systems with the highest resolved shear stress) and the size and the shape of the plastic zones around the notch are both functions of the orientation as well as the test temperature. A comparison between the absolute values of resolved shear stresses near the notch at 28°C and 927°C on the {111} slip planes revealed that the plastic zone size and the number of activated dominant slip systems are not significantly affected by the temperature dependency of the elastic properties of the SCNBS, but rather by the change in critical resolved shear stress of this material with temperature. The load required to initiate slip was found to be lower in specimen II than in specimen I at both temperatures. Furthermore, at 927°C the maximum resolved shear stress (RSS) on the notch surface was found to be greater on the {100} slip planes as compared with the {111} slip planes in both specimens. The results from this study will be helpful in understanding the slip evolution in SCNBS at high temperatures.

AbstractWe have measured the resistivity and thermopower of single crystals as well as polycrystalline pressed powders of the low-dimensional pentatelluride materials: HfTe5 and ZrTe5. We have performed these measurements as a function of temperature between 5K and 320K. In the single crystals there is a peak in the resistivity for both materials at a peak temperature, Tp where Tp ≈ 80K for HfTe5 and Tp ≈ 145K for ZrTe5. Both materials exhibit a large p-type thermopower around room temperature which undergoes a change to n-type below the peak. This data is similar to behavior observed previously in these materials. We have also synthesized pressed powders of polycrystalline pentatelluride materials, HfTe5 and ZrTe5. We have measured the resistivity and thermopower of these polycrystalline materials as a function of temperature between 5K and 320K. For the polycrystalline material, the room temperature thermopower for each of these materials is relatively high, +95 μV/K and +65 μV/K for HfTe5 and ZrTe5 respectively. These values compare closely to thermopower values for single crystals of these materials. At 77 K, the thermopower is +55 μV/K for HfTe5 and +35 μV/K for ZrTe5. In fact, the thermopower for the polycrystals decreases monotonically with temperature to T ≈ 5K, thus exhibiting p-type behavior over the entire range of temperature. As expected, the resistivity for the polycrystals is higher than the single crystal material, with values of 430 mΩ-cm and 24 mΩ-cm for Hfre5 and ZrTe5 respectively, compared to single crystal values of 0.35 mΩ-cm (HfTe5) and 1.0 mΩ-cm (ZrTe5). We have found that the peak in the resistivity evident in both single crystal materials is absent in these polycrystalline materials. We will discuss these materials in relation to their potential as candidates for thermoelectric applications.

Compressive deformation of L10-ordered single crystals of FePd whose c/a ratio less than unity have been investigated from room temperature to 823 K. The results show that the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for octahedral glide of ordinary dislocations is smaller than that of super-lattice dislocations in all the temperature range investigated, that is the opposite sense to the case of Ti-56 mol% Al. The CRSS for ordinary dislocations virtually independent to the temperature. On the other hand, the CRSS for super dislocations exhibits a weak positive temperature dependence from room temperature up to 573 K and decreases in higher temperatures.
