Stress-strain curve of a single crystal

Deformation process in single crystals

Deformation in single crystals is divided into four stages: elastic, easy glide (single slip), multiple glide and recovery. https://youtu.be/meUF-9i-4Qw Introduction Even if single crystals are used far less than polycrystals, one can understand very well the processes...
Lattice orientation for single and multiple gliding

Deformation of ideal crystal structures (single crystal)

During the deformation of single crystals, slip steps preferably form at 45° to the tensile axis, since the shear stresses are at a maximum. https://youtu.be/xaNPAMxLXdE Introduction If a material on the atomic level is...
