It is important to research activation of the slip systems in magnesium crystals to understand deformation behavior of magnesium. In this study, pure magnesium, Mg-7.0at%Li and Mg-0.1at%Zn single crystals were stretched in the [11-20] direction in the range of 77K to 573K to investigate the deformation behavior by non-basal slip. The active slip system was investigated by the observation of slip bands, etch pit bands and dislocations by TEM. {11-22} <-1-123> second order pyramidal slip is activated in all magnesium and magnesium alloy single crystals, and its yield stress shows anomalous temperature dependence in the range from 77K to 293K, however, the yields stress decreased rapidly with increasing temperature above 293K. The yield stress due to the pyramidal slip in Mg-Li and Mg-Zn alloy were lower than that of pure magnesium about 20MPa whereas the stress of Mg-Zn at 77K was about two times higher than pure magnesium.

According to von-Mises criterion, five kinds of independent slip systems are required for uniform deformation, so it is necessary to activate non-basal slip systems to show good ductility. However, it has not become clear the effect of Zn or Al for non-basal slip systems yet. To investigate deformation behavior of magnesium crystal by non-basal slip and alloying effect for the non-basal slip, pure magnesium and Mg-Al-Zn single crystals were stretched in the [110] direction. While {112}<23> second order pyramidal slip was activated at room temperature in pure magnesium, {101}<23> first order pyramidal slip became active slip at higher temperature. In Mg-Al-Zn alloy single crystal, {101} twin also activated by adding aluminum. These results indicate that active non-basal slip systems and twin in magnesium strongly depend on deformation temperature and alloying elements.

In general, deformation behavior of magnesium in compression is different from tensile. To investigate deformation behavior of magnesium single crystals, c-axis compression was performed. The crystals were yielded by second order pyramidal slip, and the yield stress shows anomalous temperature dependence (increased with increasing temperature) between 203K and 293K. Yield stress of c-axis compression is bigger than that of a-axis tensile. {10-13} twin and {11-24} twin occurred at 77293K and 77473K respectively. Fracture surface at 77293K was {11-24} and at 473K was {11-22}.

The effect of the activated slip systems on the temperature dependence of yield stress was investigated in α-Ti by using crystal plasticity finite element method. A model for finite element analysis (FEA) was constructed based on experimental results. The displacement in FEA was applied up to the nominal strain of 4% which is the same strain as the experimental one. Stress-strain curves were obtained, which corresponds to experimental data taken every 50 K between 73 K and 673 K. The used material constants which are temperature dependent were elastic constants, and lattice friction stresses. The lattice friction stresses of basal slip systems were set to be higher than that of pyramidal slip systems at 73 K. Then, the lattice friction stresses were set to be closer as the temperature increases. It was found that the activation of slip systems is strong temperature dependent, and that the yield stress depends on the number of active slip systems.

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.

AbstractThe strain rate sensitivity ß of the flow stress τ is associated with workhardening and β=(δτ/δln ε) is proportional to the workhardening increment τh = τ - τy, where τy is the strain rate independent yield stress. The temperature dependence of β/τh reflects changes in the rate controlling mechanism. At intermediate and high temperatures, the hardening correlates with the density of [101] dislocations on (010). The nature of the local obstacles at room temperature is not established.
