LOW-TEMPERATURE STRESS-RELAXATION PEAKS IN PLASTICALLY DEFORMED POLYCRYSTALLINE NIOBIUM

Journal Article · · Acta Met.
Observations of stress-relaxation absorption peaks at low temperatures are related for a plastically deformed b.c.c. metal. Acoustic energy absorption peaks for frequencies in the tens of kilocycles were observed at l0 and 165 deg K in plastically deformed, polycrystalline niobium. Measurements of interal friction were made at 4 to 300 deg K by a resonant-bar technique in which alternating longitudinal stress at 10 to 100 kc/sec was employed. The use of electromagnetic transducers permitted measurements at strain amplitudes of 10/sup -8/ to 10/sup -4/. (B.O.G.)
