Sliding tests are carried out on the (001) surface of a copper single crystal lubricated with liquid paraffin using a diamond cone slider. The experimental results show that widths of sliding tracks vary periodically with crystallographic directions. In the present experiment the surface is only deformed, and no wear debris is produced. The elastic anisotropy with respect to the direction of sliding is considered, and the distribution of slip traces around the track is observed on the (001) surface of copper. The results indicate that in the surface damage during sliding the plastic deformation and work-hardening are more important than elastic recovery of the surface.

AbstractSingle crystal NiAl and Ni-49.75Al-0.25Fe have been deformed along <110> at temperatures of 77, 298 and 773K and strain rates of 0.001/s, 0.1/s and 2000/s. The flow stress of <110> NiAl is rate and temperature sensitive. A significant decrease in the work hardening rate is observed after deformation at 77K and a strain rate of 2000/s. Coarse {110} slip traces are observed after deformation at a strain rate of 2000/s at 77K, while no slip traces were observed after deformation under all other conditions. TEM observations reveal distinct {110} slip bands after deformation at 77K and a strain rate of 2000/s.

Scratch tests on (001) face, doubler face and tripler face of KDP crystals are carried out at room temperature. It shows that the friction ceoffcients of different crystal faces are affected seriously by the crystal oritations, their variation periods of (001) face, doubler face and tripler face are 90o, 180o and 180o, their attitudes of relative anisotropy are 50%, 43.8% and 43.8%, and all of them are less than 0.4. The scratch mechanism of KDP crystal consists of four types: elastic and plastic deformation, ploughing, microchip, and surface damage. Differences between elastic and plastic deformation and ploughing are not obvious due to the soft-brittle nature of KDP crystal.

AbstractA small single crystal of copper with a notch has been bent by use of the molecular dynamics method. The bend axis was [110]. Dislocations were created near the tip of the notch and moved on (111) slip plane. Pulling a copper single crystal, half dislocations were created in such a way that the bending was compensated.

Cells are known to sense the topographic features of the substrate and align along the direction of the surface pattern, and this is believed to be an important aspect in the formation and regeneration of anisotropic biological tissues. In this study, a unique and anisotropic stepped pattern was produced on single crystals of α-Ti with the h.c.p. lattice by plastic deformation in compression to demonstrate the effect of the pattern on cell behavior. Because the Schmid factor for the operative slip system of prismatic (100)[110] was set to be 0.5, the slip traces with an acute angle of 45° appeared on the surface. A smooth substrate without plastic deformation was used as a control. MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells were cultured on the substrate for 24 h, followed by observation of the morphology and alignment of the cells by Giemsa staining. On stepped substrates, cells aligned along the slip traces, and the filopodia of the aligned cells were found to extend parallel to the slip traces. The slip traces induced by plastic deformation of a single crystal was successfully proven to be a potent substrate to control the alignment of cells.

Metals and their alloys, except for a few intermetallics, are inherently ductile, i.e., plastic deformation precedes fracture in these materials. Therefore, resistance to fracture is directly related to the development of the plastic zone at the crack tip. Recent studies indicate that the fracture toughness of single crystals depends on the crystallographic orientation of the notch as well as the loading direction. In general, the dependence of crack propagation resistance on crystallographic orientation arises from the anisotropy of (i) elastic constants, (ii) plastic deformation (or slip), and (iii) the weakest fracture planes (e.g., cleavage planes). Because of the triaxial stress state at the notch tips, many slip systems that otherwise would not be activated during uniaxial testing become operational. The plastic zone formation in single crystals has been tackled theoretically by Rice and his co-workers [Rice, J. R., 1987, Mech. Mater. 6, pp. 317–335; Rice, J. R., and Saeedvafa, M., 1987, J. Mech. Phys. Solids 36, pp. 189–214; Saeedvafa, M., and Rice, J. R., 1988; ibid., 37, pp. 673–691; Rice, J. R., Hawk, D. E., Asaro, R. J., 1990, Int. J. Fract. 42, pp. 301–321; Saeedvafa, M., and Rice, J. R., 1992, Modell. Simul. Mater. Sci. Eng. 1, pp. 53–71] and only limited experimental work has been conducted in this area. The study of the stresses and strains in the vicinity of a fcc single-crystal notch tip is of relatively recent origin. We present experimental and numerical investigation of three-dimensional (3D) stress fields and evolution of slip sector boundaries near notches in fcc single-crystal PWA1480 tension test specimens and demonstrate that a 3D linear elastic finite element model, which includes the effect of material anisotropy, is shown to predict active slip planes and sectors accurately. The slip sector boundaries are shown to have complex curved shapes with several slip systems active simultaneously near the notch. Results are presented for surface and mid-plane of the specimens. The results demonstrate that accounting for 3D elastic anisotropy is very important for accurate prediction of slip activation near fcc single-crystal notches loaded in tension. Results from the study will help establish guidelines for fatigue damage near single-crystal notches.

Ultramicrotomy produces plastic deformation in the surfaces of microtomed TEM specimens which can not generally be observed unless special preparations are made. In this study, a typical biological composite of tissue (infundibular thoracic attachment) infiltrated in the normal manner with an embedding epoxy resin (Epon 812 in a 60/40 mixture) was microtomed with glass and diamond knives, both with 45 degree body angle. Sectioning was done in Portor Blum Mt-2 and Mt-1 microtomes. Sections were collected on formvar coated grids so that both the top side and the bottom side of the sections could be examined. Sections were then placed in a vacuum evaporator and self-shadowed with carbon. Some were chromium shadowed at a 30 degree angle. The sections were then examined in a Phillips 300 TEM at 60kv.Carbon coating (C) or carbon coating with chrom shadowing (C-Ch) makes in effect, single stage replicas of the surfaces of the sections and thus allows the damage in the surfaces to be observable in the TEM. Figure 1 (see key to figures) shows the bottom side of a diamond knife section, carbon self-shadowed and chrom shadowed perpendicular to the cutting direction. Very fine knife marks and surface damage can be observed.
