AN EVALUATION OF THE ROLE OF DEFORMATION TWINNING IN THE PLASTIC DEFORMATION OF ZIRCONIUM. Quarterly Progress Report No. 8, April-June 1963
The results of the investigation of kinking phenomena are presented. The most common type of kinking conforms to bending as a result of slip on basal planes. Kinking occurs primarily in grains unfavorably oriented for prism slip, and is therefore competitive with twinning. At low temperatures twinning is the predominant means of deformation; at high temperatures it is kinking. Direct evidence for basal slip in the form of slip line traces on external surfaces is presented. The mechanisms by which the shear deformation of a twin is transmitted across a grain boundary are described and tllustrated. These include cooperative twinning, simple slip, kinking, and the formation of accommodation kinks. (auth)
