HARDENING OF COPPER SINGLE CRYSTALS IRRADIATED AT-195 C

Journal Article · · Acta Met.
Single crystals of Cu were electropolished, sealed in silica quills, and irradiated in the Harwell reactor BEPO for one week at -195 deg C. The total dose of slow neutrons was 8 x 10/sup 17/ n/cm/sup 2/, and the ratio of fast to thermal flux was about unity in the position used. After irradiaiion the specimens were stored in liquid nitrogen to allow the radioactivity to decrease and were then transferred to the tensile machine and tested at - 195 deg C without permitting the temperature to rise. The stressstrain curves for the irradiated specimens are presented. (W.L.H.)
