Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

Minimal Stress

Dislocation mobility is a fundamental material property that controls strength and ductility of crystals. An important measure of dislocation mobility is its Peierls stress, i.e., the minimal stress required to move a dislocation at zero temperature. Here we report that, in the body-centered cubic metal tantalum, the Peierls stress as a function of dislocation orientation exhibits fine structure with several singular orientations of high Peierls stress—stress spikes—surrounded by vicinal plateau regions. While the classical Peierls-Nabarro model captures the high Peierls stress of singular orientations, an extension that allows dislocations to bend is necessary to account for the plateau regions. Our results clarify the notion of dislocation kinks as meaningful only for orientations within the plateau regions vicinal to the Peierls stress spikes. These observations lead us to propose a Read-Shockley type classification of dislocation orientations into three distinct classes—special, vicinal, and general—with respect to their Peierls stress and motion mechanisms. We predict that dislocation loops expanding under stress at sufficiently low temperatures, should develop well defined facets corresponding to two special orientations of highest Peierls stress, the screw and the M111 orientations, both moving by kink mechanism. We propose that both the screw and the M111 dislocations are jointly responsible for the yield behavior of BCC metals at low temperatures.

ABSTRACTThin surface films have been shown to enhance the ductility and decrease the flow stress of several body-centered cubic metals at temperatures T < 0.2 Tm. The origin of this effect lies in the large difference in the intrinsic mobilities of edge and screw dislocations in body-centered cubic crystals. B2 ordered intermetallic alloys, although simple cubic in structure, are based on the body-centered cubic structure and have dislocation core structures, dislocation mobilities and temperature and orientation dependent deformation qualitatively similar to that of bcc metals. This investigation was initiated to examine possible effects of surface films on the mechanical behavior of B2 ordered intermetallic alloys, using oxidized NiAl as the initial material for investigation. Experiments were performed on an impure non-stoichiometric (47.1 at.% Al) single crystal material with an axial orientation near [123]. Surface film softening was observed at room temperature in compression at a strain rate of 2 x 10-4 s-1. Flow stresses of the oxide coated crystals were as much as 20% lower than those of identically prepared uncoated crystals. The strains to fracture of coated specimens were larger than those of uncoated specimens and in a few instances the ductility enhancement was as much as four times. Of the several oxides examined, the largest softening effects were found for a thermally deposited delta-A1203 film formed at 1000 °C for 1 hour. The current results for NiAl are compared to results previously obtained for bcc metals. Experiments which could further enhance the film softening effects observed in B2 ordered intermetallic alloys are suggested.

This article concerns the minimal knotting number for several types of lattices, including the face-centered cubic lattice (fcc), two variations of the body-centered cubic lattice (bcc-14 and bcc-8), and simple-hexagonal lattices (sh). We find, through the use of a computer algorithm, that the minimal knotting number in sh is 20, in fcc is 15, in bcc-14 is 13, and bcc-8 is 18.

Abstract The Poisson ratio υ of a polycrystalline aggregate was calculated for both the face-centered cubic and the body-centered cubic cases. A general two-body central-force interatomatic potential was used. Deviations of υ from 0.25 were verified. A lower value of υ is predicted for the f.c.c. case than for the b.c.c. case. Observed values of υ for twenty-three cubic elements are discussed in terms of the predicted values. Effects of including volume-dependent electron-energy terms in the inter-atomic potential are discussed.

AbstractPhysical vapor deposition of Group VI elements (Cr, Mo, W) can lead to the formation of a metastable A-15 crystal structure under certain processing conditions. Typically, a thermally induced transformation of the metastable A-15 structure into the equilibrium body centered cubic structure has been accomplished by conventional furnace annealing at T/Tm ≈ 0.3 from tens of minutes to several hours. In this study we report on the use of rapid thermal annealing to transform sputter deposited A- 15 crystal structure tungsten and chromium thin films into body centered cubic films within the same temperature range but at times on the order of one minute. The minimum annealing times and temperatures required for complete transformation of the A-15 phase into the BCC phase varied from sample to sample, indicating that the transformation was dependent on the film characteristics. The electrical resistivity of A-15 Cr and W films was measured before and after rapid thermal annealing and was found to significantly decrease after transformation into the body center cubic phase.

This paper presents the results of the texture investigation in the hexagonal phase and the body-centered cubic  phase of the Ti6Al4V alloy hot-deformed by forging. Forging was performed at two different temperatures on the occurrence of the single  and in the two-phase  +  state. It was found that after deformation both  and  phases are textured and their textures strongly depends on deformation temperature.

Sodium (Na) clusters in octahedral cages of Na-intercalated fullerides Na6C60 and Na11C60 are studied within a Thomas–Fermi model. It is shown that the tetrahedral Na4 cluster in Na6C60 has an electric charge ~ +2.7 (in electron charge units), while the body-centered cubic Na9 cluster in Na11C60 is almost electrically neutral. Keywords: sodium clusters, alkali fullerides, Thomas–Fermi theory, ionization charge.
