Dv. Lotsko et Yv. Milman, TEMPERATURE AND ORIENTATION DEPENDENCE OF YIELD STRESS AND PLASTICITYIN MOLYBDENUM SINGLE-CRYSTALS OF HIGH-PURITY, Journal de physique. IV, 5(C7), 1995, pp. 307-313
In order to study the influence of purification on the strength and pl
asticity of molybdenum single crystals in bending tests, the investiga
tion was carried out on crystals of 6 orientations and two purity leve
ls (r293K/r4.2K=95000 and 2000 respectively) in the temperature range
from 77K to 373K. The dependence of yield stress and ductile-brittle t
ransition temperature on crystal orientation and parity was establishe
d. The results are discussed in connection with the peculiarities of d
islocation slip and multiplication in bending which are illustrated by
X-ray epigrams.
