Orientation effect on the stress response by strain-rate change at 400 K in Ni{sub 3}Al single crystals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20001678
Cyclic strain-rate change tests were performed by using binary, stoichiometric Ni{sub 3}Al single crystalline specimens with different tensile orientations at 400K. In all the specimens, the flow stress was independent of strain rate in steady state and exhibited a temporary change by the strain-rate change. The characteristics of the temporary stress change, the initial stress change and transient time, were independent of orientation. Based on the multiplication-immobilization model, the authors concluded that the immobilization mechanism, the Kear-Wilsdorf locking mechanism, is independent of orientation in binary, stoichiometric Ni{sub 3}Al.
