Aluminum single crystals were cyclically deformed in single-slip at small strain amplitudes
at 77 K to presaturation. The observed mechanical behavior is consistent with other
recent work. The dislocation substructure was analyzed in detail. The structure can be
described as consisting of dense bundles or veins of dislocation dipoles, separated...
A series of TiNbHf alloys ranging from 0-40 atomic %
Nb and 0-15 atomic % Hf were evaluated to investigate
low-elastic modulus phenomena which occur in this ternary
system. The desirability of utilizing corrosion-resistant, biocompatible alloys with elastic modulus values
approaching that of human bone for medical prosthetic
implants provides...
