HIGH TEMPERATURE STRESS-STRAIN BEHAVIOR OF MgO IN COMPRESSION
Compressive stress-strain curves for several types of polycrystalline MgO specimens were correlated with those for single crystals and analyzed as a function of grain size and grain-boundary character at 1200 and 1400 C for several strain rates. The results for fully dense specimens were explained in terms of grain-boundary sliding and intergranular separation in addition to slip. The modification of grain-boundary nature concurrent with heat treatment for grain growth, caused by residual LUF, was associated with enhanced grain-boundary sliding and intergranular separation. For grain sizes <30 {micro}m, it was concluded that the von Miss criteria for ductility could be relaxed by the Occurrence of dislocation climb and, to a limited extent, by intergranular separation. Yield drop corresponding to dislocation multiplication occurred when grain-boundary sliding was initially promoted. Specimens with a liquid phase of adequate viscosity also indicated plasticity accompanied by high strength. Specimens with clean grain boundaries exhibited ductility and normal strain hardening with no intergranular separation.
