Em. Schulson et Y. Xu, THE BAUSCHINGER EFFECT IN POLYCRYSTALS OF NI3AL WITH AND WITHOUT BORON, Philosophical magazine letters, 76(4), 1997, pp. 269-274
Experiments have revealed that polycrystals of Ni3Al exhibit the Bausc
hinger effect and that boron lessens its magnitude. The attendant back
stress is attributed to internal stresses generated by the piling up
of dislocations at grain boundaries. The reduction is attributed to th
e enhancement of slip transmission.
