Title: Plastic deformation of Ni{sub 3}Nb single crystals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20001680

Temperature dependence of yield stress and operative slip system in Ni{sub 3}Nb single crystals with the D0{sub a} structure was investigated in comparison with that in an analogous L1{sub 2} structure. Compression tests were performed at temperatures between 20 C and 1,200 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 {l{underscore}brace}211{r{underscore}brace}{lt}{bar 1}{bar 0} 7 13{gt} 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 Ni{sub 3}Nb single crystals is discussed on the basis of a cross slip model which has been widely accepted for some L1{sub 2}-type compounds.
