The Critical Stress for Plastic Deformation in Ni3(Al,Hf) Single Crystals.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
A new method of relaxation series is proposed which allows for the measurement of the apparent activation volumes and of the hardening correction terms. This method is successfully applied to the measurement of the effective activation volumes along the stress strain curves. A transition stress between a microplastic and a macroplastic domain can be unambiguously defined on the plots of the effective volume as a function of strain. The corresponding transition stress measured at three temperatures in the range of the flow stress anomaly (293K, 423K, 573K), agrees reasonably well with the values of τ0.2%. The latter stress was usually considered as the critical stress for plastic deformation, in former studies.
