ABSTRACTB2-type CoTi single crystals which exhibit the yield strength anomaly were deformed at various temperatures and on various compression axis in order to investigate the deformation microstructures. The morphological feature and Burgers vectors of the activated dislocations were investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy. At a low temperature of 300 K, relatively straight dislocations with the <001>-type Burgers vector were observed. They consisted of the mixed components of edge and screw, and strongly tended to form the dipoles. At a temperature of 773 K where the yield stress increases with increasing temperature, the screw components of dislocations with a <001>-type Burgers vector were dominant and showed peculiar morphology revealing the pinning or cross slip. However, the examination using the weak-beam method could not show the evidence of any dissociation. At a high temperature of 973 K above the peak temperature, the Burgers vectors of activated dislocations were determined to be a <001>- type for compressive orientation axes close to [111] and [011] whereas a <110>-type for orientation axis close to [001]. These dislocation microstructures were discussed in correlation with the yield strength anomaly observed in these intermetallics.

ABSTRACTβ-brass single crystals oriented along <001> were deformed between room temperature and 300°C. The deformation microstructure and dissociation properties were studied by transmission electron microscopy under weak-beam imaging conditions.Whatever the deformation temperature, superdislocations with <111> Burgers vector and strong edge component dominate within the microstructure. In addition, below the temperature of the flow stress peak (≈ 250°C), the density of screw relative to mixed superdislocations decreases as straining temperature increases. Dissociation does not always occur on the slip plane neither does it proceed exclusively by glide, even in samples deformed at 100°C.

ABSTRACTCompression tests have been performed on hard-oriented Ni-44A1 single crystals for several temperatures and strain levels. There is a slip transition from a<111> type slip to non-a<111> type slip which corresponds with the observation of yield points. Transmission electron microscopy studies provide evidence for decomposition of a<111> dislocations into a<101> and a<010> dislocations near the “knee” of the yield strength curve. The mechanism of this slip transition and the nature of the dislocation processes both below and above the “knee” are described.

ABSTRACTWe present a study of the deformation mechanism of decagonal Al73Ni10Co17 quasicrystals by means of transmission electron microscopy. We performed compression tests on single-quasicrystalline samples in three different orientations: with the compression axis parallel to, inclined by 45 ° and perpendicular to the tenfold axis of the decagonal quasicrystal. The deformed samples reveal characteristic orientation-dependent dislocation structures leading us to the conclusion that fundamentally different deformation mechanisms are involved in plastic deformation in the three deformation geometries. We explicitly identified the Burgers vectors of the dislocations as interatomic vectors in the structure of decagonal Al-Ni-Co.

AbstractThe effects of strain rate and temperature on the yield strength of near-stoichiometric Fe2AlMn single crystals were investigated. In the temperature range 600-800K the yield stress increased with increasing temperature, a response commonly referred to as a yield strength anomaly. No strain rate sensitivity was observed below 750K, but at higher temperatures the yield stress increased with increasing strain rate. Possible mechanisms to explaining the effects of temperature and strain rate are discussed.

The Ni3Al intermetallic compound of the ordered L12 structure with various alloying elements (such as Ta or Ti) reinforces most of the industrial superalloys which are designed for high temperature applications. Therefore, the understanding of its mechanical properties is of primary importance. The yield strength, measured in constant strain rate tests, exhibits an anomalous behaviour as a function of temperature: it increases up to a peak temperature above which it finally decreases. The anomalous increase has been extensively studied during the last 30 years, including weak-beam and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations and computer simulations. Numerous models have been proposed to explain this anomalous variation in which the structure of the dislocation core plays a fundamental role. A review of core effects on the plasticity of ordered alloys was given by Vitek (1985). In the present investigation, the Ni3(Al,l%Ta) phase was deformed at temperatures above the yield strength peak and the detailed core configurations of dislocations have been analyzed using weak-beam and high resolution TEM techniques.

ABSTRACTBulk single crystals of 4H-SiC have been deformed in compression in the temperature range 550–1300°C, whereas a GaN thin film grown on a (0001) sapphire substrate was deformed by Vickers indentation in the temperature range 25–800°C. The TEM observations of the deformed crystals indicate that deformation-induced dislocations in 4H-SiC all lie on the (0001) basal plane but depending on the deformation temperature, are one of two types. The dislocations induced by deformation at temperatures above ∼1 100°C are complete, with a Burgers vector, b, of but are all dissociated into two partials bounding a ribbon of stacking fault. On the other 3 hand, the dislocations induced by deformation in the temperature range 550<T<∼ 1100°C were predominantly single leading partials each dragging a stacking fault behind them. From the width of dissociated dislocations in the high-temperature deformed crystals, the stacking fault energy of 4H-SiC has been estimated to be 14.7±2.5 mJ/m2. Vickers indentations of the [0001]-oriented GaN film produced a dense array of dislocations along the three 〈1120〉 directions at all temperatures. The dislocations were slightly curved with their curvature increasing as the deformation temperature increased. Most of these dislocations were found to have a screw nature with their b parallel to 〈1120〉. Also, within the resolution of the weak-beam method, they were not found to be dissociated. Tilting experiment show that these dislocations lie on the {1100} prism plane rather than the easier (0001) glide plane.

ABSTRACTVickers hardness tests on {0001} and (1120) faces of a relatively thick GaN film grown on a (0001) sapphire substrate have been performed in the temperature range 25-1200°C. The microstructure of the plastic zone around the indentation sites has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At room temperature, the hardness was measured to be 12.3 GPa on the basal plane, and 11.1 GPa on the prism plane. The hardness decreases gradually with increasing temperature up to ∼800°C and then shows a plateau between ∼800 and ∼1050°C after which it decreases again above ∼1100°C. In contrast to the rather straight dislocations produced by room-temperature indentation of the (0001) face, the dislocations generated by indenting the (1120) face at room temperature were curved and in the shape of half-loops emanating from the indentation sites on the prism planes. Such dislocations were not dissociated within the resolution of weak-beam TEM.

ABSTRACTAlN ceramics were plastically deformed using uniaxial compression under hydrostatic pressure between room temperature (RT) and 800°C. Deformation microstructures have been studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) using the weak beam technique. The deformation substructure at RT is characterized by perfect glide loops with 1/3<1120> Burgers vector in (0001) elongated in the screw direction. When deformation temperature increases, the screw character is associated to cross slip events and dislocation dipolesare found. In the investigated temperature range, slip of dislocations with 1/3<1120> Burgers vector is also evidenced on prismatic planes. Weak beam observations failed to evidence any dislocation splitting. Some of these dislocation properties, similar to those of III-V compound semiconductors, suggest that electronic doping effects could be used to control plastic behaviour of covalent ceramics.

Explosive welding is essentially a solid-phase bonding process, hence any metal can be bonded even if they are totally dissimilar physically and chemically. Our group recently found that a straight interface is superior, with respect to plastic deformation behavior, to a wavy one, in direct contrast to a model that an interlocking structure of a wavy interface produces strong bonds. To obtain some insight into the superiority of such a straight interface, microstructures of copper single crystals (size: 4 x 40 x 130 mm) explosively welded in a parallel standoff configuration are investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy.
