ABSTRACTTemperature dependence of yield stress and operative slip system in Ni3Nb single crystals with the DOa structure was investigated in comparison with that in an analogous L12 structure. Compression tests were performed at temperatures between 20 °C and 1200 °C for specimens with loading axes perpendicular to (110), (331) and (270).(010)[100] slip was operative for three orientations, while (010)[001] slip for (331) and {211} <10 7 13> twin for (270) orientations were observed, depending on deformation temperature. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for the (010)[100] slip anomaly increased with increasing temperature showing a maximum peak between 400 °C and 800 °C depending on crystal orientation. The CRSS showed orientation dependence and no significant strain rate dependence in the temperature range for anomalous strengthening. The [100] dislocations with a screw character were aligned on the straight when the anomalous strengthening occurred. The anomalous strengthening mechanism for (010)[100] slip in Ni3Nb single crystals is discussed on the basis of a cross slip model which has been widely accepted for some L12-type compounds.

AbstractSingle crystals with a wide variety of orientations were cut from large pucks of laboratory-grown ice. Constant-strain-rate compression tests were performed on the crystals either at an axial strain rate of 1 × 10−5 s−1at –20°C or at axial strain rates from 1 × 10−6 s−1 to 1 × 10−4 s−1 at –10°C. In agreement with previous studies of ice flow, the compression tests showed a linearly rising stress with increasing strain, followed by a sharply declining stress after reaching a peak. With further strain, the sharp decline in stress slowed and the flow stress approached a plateau that was only weakly dependent on strain. For all crystallographic orientations, it was found that Schmid’s (critical resolved shear stress) law was obeyed by the peak stress. Slip lines clearly showed that basal slip was the deformation mode.

AbstractCompressive deformations of L10-ordered single crystals of FePd have been investigated from room temperature to 873 K. The critical resolved shear stress for superlattice dislocations is hard to determine resulting from buckling that occurs after a small amount of conventional plastic deformation. The CRSS for superlattice dislocations determined from yield stress is significantly larger than that of ordinary dislocations. The CRSS for octahedral glide of ordinary and superlattice dislocations are virtually independent of the temperature, and the positive temperature dependence of the yield stress is not observed for both, ordinary and superlattice dislocations, by the present experiments.

Various orientations of single crystals of niobium, purified by ultra-high vacuum annealing, have been tested in compression at 295 °K and in tension at temperatures between 77 °K and 295 °K. The shear stress – shear strain curves show three-stage hardening in a manner similar to f.c.c. crystals. Analysis of the orientation dependence of the operative slip system suggests an asymmetry in the critical resolved shear stress for slip on {112} planes which increases with decreasing temperature. Explanations for this in terms of the various ways in which a [Formula: see text] type screw dislocation can dissociate have been proposed. It is found that dissociation on two {112} planes or composite dissociation on {110} and {112} planes leads to a satisfactory qualitative explanation of the experimental results.The dislocation distribution occurring as a function of strain has been studied for crystals of a single glide orientation deformed in tension at 295 °K. [Formula: see text] sections from crystals deformed into stage I contain clusters of primary edge dipoles. The density of secondary dislocations is low (~10%). Sections from crystals deformed into stage II were chosen such that the three-dimensional nature of the dislocation arrays could be investigated. The distribution shows strong similarities to those observed in copper crystals (Steeds 1966), i.e. edge multipole walls, tilt and twist boundaries. The density of secondary dislocations is high, being of the same order as the primary density.

ABSTRACTAl5Ti3 single-phase single crystals with the stoichiometric composition of Ti-62.5at.%Al were obtained by the floating zone method and subsequent heat treatment at 750°C for 48h. The crystals contain no L10 phase, but compose of anti-phase domains (APD) surrounded by the anti-phase boundary (APB) on the basis of the Al5Ti3 long-period superstructure.Orientation dependence of plastic deformation behavior and operative slip system were examined in compression in a wide temperature range between RT and 750°C using the single-phase single crystals in comparison with Al-rich TiAl single crystals with the L10 matrix and Al5Ti3 precipitates. In the wide crystal orientation area, {111)<110] ordinary slip appeared independent of the tested temperature, while {111)<101] superlattice slip was operative only at around [001] and [110] axes. This is because the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for the ordinary slip is lower than that for the superlattice slip and that for the ordinary slip in other Al-rich TiAl crystals containing L10. This implies that existence of the L10 matrix with the Al5Ti3 phase must be closely related to strengthening for the ordinary slip, similarity in Ni-base super-alloys consisting of the Ni-based matrix and L12 precipitates. The CRSS for both slips gradually decreased or was kept constant with temperature, showing no remarkable anomalous strengthening.In this paper, deformation mechanism in Al5Ti3 single-phase single crystals will be discussed focusing on condition of the Al5Ti3 superstructure.

ABSTRACTThe deformation behavior of single crystals of Mo(Si,Al)2 with the C40 structure has been studied as a function of crystal orientation and Al content in the temperature range from room temperature to 1500°C in compression. Plastic flow is possible only above 1100°C for orientations where slip along <1120> on (0001) is operative and no other slip systems are observed over whole temperature range investigated. The critical resolved shear stress for basal slip decreases rapidly with increasing temperature and the Schmid law is valid. Basal slip appears to occur through a synchroshear mechanism, in which a-dislocations (b=1/3<1120>) dissociate into two synchro-partial dislocations with the identical Burgers vector(b*1/6<1120>) and each synchro-partial further dissociates into two partials on two adjacent planes.


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.

Orientation-controlled Mg single crystals were tensile tested at temperatures between 473 K and 673 K at a strain rate of 4.2 x 10-4 s-1 in vacuum. Though all the single crystals showed high ductility compared with that of polycrystals, the ductility of the single crystals strongly depended on the crystal orientation. The [27 -1 -26 1] single crystal showed 0.57 fracture strain, while the [3 8 -11 -1] single crystal showed superplastic behavior of ductility over 1.8 strain. The observed strong orientation dependence of ductility seemed to be caused by orientation dependence of ease occurrence of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in the single crystals during high-temperature deformation. The orientation dependence of ductility of Mg single crystals will be discussed in detail concerning crystallographical orientations of the single crystals, occurrence of DRX and fracture.
