ABSTRACTAt room temperature sheets of γ-TiAl exhibit a higher yield stress in the rolling direction than in the transverse direction. Around 700°C the opposite behavior is observed. The texture mainly consists of a modified cube component. The tetragonal c-axis (001) is aligned in the sheet plane transversely to the rolling direction. Taken into account this special texture and the single crystal yield surface of γ-TiAl we conclude that around 700°C the CRSS of super-dislocations is higher than the CRSS of ordinary dislocations. At RT the relation changes to the opposite.

In the present work, the prediction capability of Yld89 criterion from anisotropic yield func- tions was investigated in the view of the anisotropic behavior of the sheet metals. Investigation was conducted on two highly anisotropic sheet materials: an aluminum alloy (AA2090-T3) and an advanced high strength steel (TRIP 780). The in-plane variation of material anisotropy and normalized yield surface contours were considered in the evaluation of the prediction capability of the criterion. Firstly, the model coefficients were determined according to stress and strain based definitions. Then, the planar variations of the yield stress and plastic strain ratios and normalized yield surface contours of the materials were predicted according to both identification procedures. Finally, the computed results were compared with experiments to evaluate prediction capability of the model. It was observed from the comparisons that the pla- nar variations of the yield stress ratio could successfully predicted by stress based definition, while the variations of the plastic strain ratios in the sheet plane could accurately predicted by strain based definition. Besides, it was determined that elastic region predicted from strain based definition was larger than stress based definition for AA2090-T3, while the predicted elastic region from stress based definition was slightly larger in than that of strain based defi- nition for TRIP 780 material.

AbstractThe rolling anisotropy of Ni3Al single crystals was studied. A single crystal sheet in the (011) plane showed remarkable anisotropy. Rolling the sheet in the [100] direction was simple but was almost impossible in the [011] direction. Substantial anisotropy was not observed in the (111) and (001) sheets. The texture of the rolled (011) and (111) sheets were {011}<011>. It is concluded that the rolling anisotropy of single crystal sheets is determined by the presence of active slip system related to compressive strain normal to the sheet plane, and tensile strain parallel to the rolling direction.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

Tetramethyl-tetraselenafulvalene (TMTSF) and bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) are flagship precursors in the field of molecular (super)conductors. The electrocrystallization of these donors in the presence of (n-Bu4N)TaF6 or mixtures of (n-Bu4N)TaF6 and (n-Bu4N)PF6 provided Bechgaard salts formulated as (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.84(PF6)0.16, (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.56(PF6)0.44, (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.44(PF6)0.56 and (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.12(PF6)0.88, together with the monoclinic and orthorhombic phases δm-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.94(PF6)0.06 and δo-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.43(PF6)0.57, respectively. The use of BEDT-TTF and a mixture of (n-Bu4N)TaF6/TaF5 afforded the 1:1 phase (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2. The precise Ta/P ratio in the alloys has been determined by an accurate single crystal X-ray data analysis and was corroborated with solution 19F NMR measurements. In the previously unknown crystalline phase (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2 the donors organize in dimers interacting laterally yet no organic-inorganic segregation is observed. Single crystal resistivity measurements on the TMTSF based materials show typical behavior of the Bechgaard phases with room temperature conductivity σ ≈ 100 S/cm and localization below 12 K indicative of a spin density wave transition. The orthorhombic phase δo-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.43(PF6)0.57 is semiconducting with the room temperature conductivity estimated to be σ ≈ 0.16–0.5 S/cm while the compound (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2 is also a semiconductor, yet with a much lower room temperature conductivity value of 0.001 to 0.0025 S/cm, in agreement with the +1 oxidation state and strong dimerization of the donors.

Mechanical anisotropy behaviors are investigated in slightly rolled Inconel718 alloy with string-like δ phase and carbides produced during various solid-solution and aging treatments. A weak anisotropy in the strengths and rupture properties at 650 °C is visible, whereas ductility, i.e., reduction in area (RA) and impact toughness (CVN), presents a sound anisotropy behavior. MC carbides promote the operation of slip systems and thus are conducive to weakening the strength anisotropy. The RA anisotropy mainly stems from high-density δ phase particles that provide more crack nucleation sites and stimulate rapid propagation because of the shorter bridge distance between micro-cracks at the rolling direction. In contrast, CVN anisotropy arises from both δ phase and carbides at a lower solid-solution temperature of 940 °C but only depends on carbides at 980 °C where the δ phase fully dissolves. Apart from dislocation motions operated at room temperature, the activated grain boundary processes are responsible for the weak anisotropy of rupture properties at the elevated temperature. This work provides a guideline for technological applications in the hot working processes for Inconel718 alloys.

Room-temperature single-crystal neutron diffraction studies are recorded for two alums, Cs( Rh /V)(SO4)2.12H2O [cubic, Pa3, a 12.357(5) ( Rh ), 12.434(1)Ǻ (V)], residuals 0.037 and 0.068 for 328 and 164 'observed' reflections, with the intention of defining water molecule hydrogen atom orientations. Whereas the two tervalent hexaaqua cations are similar in size [ rM -O = 2.010(6)Ǻ (M = V) and 2.006(2)Ǻ (M = Rh )] the vanadium salt adopts the β alum modification while rhodium gives an α alum. Significantly, the water coordination geometry is different in the two cases with the tilt angle between the plane of the water molecule and the M-O bond vector being 1° (M = V) and 35° (M = Rh ). The tilt angle for water coordinated to rhodium in CsRh (SeO4)2.12H2O is inferred from the unit cell dimensions to be similar to that of the corresponding sulfate salt and not that which generally pertains for caesium selenate alums. Significant differences in the H-O-H bond angle are found for trigonal planar and trigonal pyramidal water coordination, suggesting that differences in the metal(III)-water interaction are a determinant of the geometry of the coordinated water molecule in the caesium sulfate/ selenate alum lattices.
