Cyclic deformation of tungsten single crystals

Journal Article · · Scr. Metall.; (United States)
Because tungsten has a very high melting temperature (T/sub m/ approx. =3700 K), deformation experiments performed at room temperature are well into the thermal regime of reduced screw dislocation mobility without the added experimental difficulty of high strain rates. In this paper the authors report the cyclic stress-strain behavior of tungsten monocrystals of a center-triangle orientation and illustrate the behavior in relation to results for other bcc metals. Additionally, the relationship between the temperature and strain rate dependences of monotonic and cyclic deformation of bcc metals is discussed.
