D. Caillard et al., ON THE ROLE OF INCOMPLETE KEAR-WILSDORF LOCKS IN THE YIELD STRESS ANOMALY OF NI3AL, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 234, 1997, pp. 695-698
In situ straining experiments in an Ni-25.9at.% Al alloy at room tempe
rature indicate that the density of incomplete Kear-Wilsdorf locks is
high during deformation. The model of mechanical properties which is b
ased on their unlocking by an intrinsic cross-slip process is describe
d, and compared with the alternative kink model. The results indicate
that the alloy investigated has a higher complex stacking fault energy
than stoichiometric Ni3Al. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
