ABSTRACTDislocation structure in a directionally solidified Ni3Al-based alloy deformed at temperatures below the peak in flow stress has been studied by the weak beam TEM technique. At room temperature, the screw superdislocations are partly transformed into Kear-Wilsdorf configurations. With increasing temperatures, the transformed Kear-Wilsdorf parts increase until the temperature reaches 450°C, at which the screw superdislocations are wholly transformed. Bending of the Kear-Wilsdorf configurations on {0101} planes is observed at 450°C, which is believed to be the cause of interaction of Kear-Wilsdorf configurations with superkinks. The Contribution of superkink motion to deformation is discussed. The results suggest that deformation in this temperature range occurs primarily by the slip of non-screw components on {lll} planes, which is consistent with the widely accepted cross slip pinning model.

In f.c.c. metals slip is observed to occur generally on {111} planes. Glide dislocations on intersecting {111} planes can react with each other and form Lomer-Cottrell locks which lie along a <110> direction and are sessile since they are split on two {111} planes. Cottrell already pointed out that these dislocations could glide on {001} planes if they were not split. The first study of this phenomenon has been published recently. It is the purpose of this paper to report some interesting new details of the dislocations gliding on {001} planes in pure Ni, Cu, and Ag deformed at room temperature.Single crystals are grown with standard orientation and strained into stage II. The crystals are sliced parallel to the (001) planes. The dislocation structure is studied by TEM and the Burgers vectors ḇ and glide planes of the dislocations are determined unambiguously.In Fig.l primary P and secondary S dislocations react and form composite dislocations K.

Slip in Ni3Al takes place primarily upon close-packed <111> planes by the motion of paired a/2 dislocations, although slip can also be initiated upon cube planes at temperatures above 700°K (1,2). Because the antiphase boundary energy is at a minimum on <001> (3), a net reduction of energy is possible if such paired dislocations cross-slip from octahedral onto cube planes. The likelihood of this cross-slip event plays an important role in the theories on the flow stress of Ni3Al (1,2). Observations reported previously (h) demonstrate that cross-slip takes place at 1030°K. This investigation represents a more thorough exploration of its temperature range of occurrence.

A number of intermetallic compounds with the L12 structure exhibit a strange increase in the flow stress and work-hardening rate with increasing temperature. Despite the success of some model in explaining macroscopic properties, the detailed dislocation processes of model that are assumed to take place have not been observed in microscope. This work is an attempt to determine how the dislocation fine structure is related to the deformation behaviour of L12.Single crystal Ni-23Al-1Hf-0.1B(at%) was used in the present study. direction was chosen as compression axis. Samples were deformed to plastic strain of 6%, specimens were cut parallel to by spark erosion. Fined electropolishing was donein solution of 1% perchloric acid in methanol at −50°c and 30V. The g/3g diffraction condition used in weak beam observation.Fig1 shows the dislocation structure in foil. Long fairly straight screw dislocations with b=a[011] are imaged. The formation of dipoles is regarded as a characteristic and unusual feature of the dislocation structure. This indicates that annihilation is difficult at room temperature deformation. Weak beam images of superlattice dislocations are shown in fig.2 by using different reflections. The dislocation CC is long straight screw dislocation.

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.

ABSTRACTThe glide properties of <001> dislocations have been studied by in situ straining experiments at and below room temperature, with the aim of studying slip, cross-slip, Peierls friction forces, and pinning at small obstacles. Most results are in a good agreement with atomistic calculations. It is concluded that unpinning from small extrinsic obstacles is probably the rate controlling mechanism in this temperature range and in the soft orientation.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

IntroductionThere have been several t.e.m. studies (1,2,3,4) of the dislocation arrangements in the matrix and around the particles in dispersion strengthened single crystals deformed in single slip. Good agreement has been obtained in general between the observed structures and the various theories for the flow stress and work hardening of this class of alloy. There has been though some difficulty in obtaining an accurate picture of these arrangements in the case when the obstacles are large (of the order of several 1000's Å). This is due to both the physical loss of dislocations from the thin foil in its preparation and to rearrangement of the structure on unloading and standing at room temperature under the influence of the very high localised stresses in the vicinity of the particles (2,3).This contribution presents part of a study of the Cu-Cr-SiO2 system where age hardening from the Cu-Cr and dispersion strengthening from Cu-Sio2 is combined.
