JUN 2 2 1969 ELECTRON MICROSCOPE OBSERVATIONS ON THE DISLOCATION. ARRANGEMEN IN COPPER SINGLE CRYSTALS IN THE STRESSED CONDITION CFSTI RUCES J. C. Cru:np III and F. W. Young, Jr. . HE LE ET A Solid State Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory..a s 3.00 Oak Ridge, Tennessee The results of recent investigations by Young and Sherrill (1966) YR on processes occurring in the pre-yield rarge of copper single crystals using Borrmann X-ray topography techniques have clearly indicated that back motion of dislocations occurs when stressed crystals are relaxed and that the dislocation configurations in the stress-relaxed condition are . 4 different from those in the stress-applied condition. Similar results have also been reported by Brydges. (1966), who has made surface etching studies on the early stages of plastic deformation in copper. This study has been extended into higher stress ranges using transmission electron ALT microscopy techniques. Three copper single crystals having dimensions 1 cm by 1 cm by 2 cm with one of their large faces parallel to the (111) planes and with their long axis several degrees off of either [211] or [110] were spring AA loaded under compression and were irradiated at ambient-temperature with: 2 x 10'' fast neutrons with the stress applied to pin dislocations in their as-stressed position. The first crystal was compressed to 500 gm/mm² resolved shear stress, the second to 100 gm/mm' and the third to 40 gm/mm.. The yield points for similar crystals compressed in an Instron were less than 20 gm/mm resolved shear stress. Lamella parallel to the primary slip plane were cut from the center of the crystals with an acid saw OTS * . Research sponsored by the U. S.

The dislocation configurations observered on the primary slip planes in the crystal compressed to 500 gm/mm² were identical to those which have been observed previously in copper samples similarly stressed and then relaxed. The most prominent feature in this crystal was the presence of dislocation bundles which tended to be aligned along the traces of the conjugate and critical planes and which were composed of primary edge dislocation dipoles and some secondary edge dislocations. No long single dislocations and only a few short jogged screw dislo- cations have been observed in this crystal. The dislocation arrangements in the crystal compressed to 100 gm/ mm". were different from those observed previously in similarly stressed crystals studied after the stress was removed and also from those observed in the crystal compressed to 500 gm/mm². Whereas previous studies have indicated that large numbers of edge dislocation bundles were present in crystals stressed to this range and then relaxed, very few bundles have been observed during the present investigation. A number of long dislo- cations, some of which were in the screw orientation and others which were in a mixed orientation, have been observed in this crystal, however, and an these have not previously been reported in crystals similarly stressed and relaxed. The results of deformation in the crystal which was compressed to 40 gm/mm indicate the presence in this crystal of numerous long dislo- : cations, most of which are in a mixed orientation, which lie on the primary slip planes and intersect to form networks (Fig. 1). A few single edge dipolės have been seen but no bundles of edge dipoles. -3- Apparently little or no relaxation occurs when a crystal stressed to 500 gm/mm” is relaxed, and the dislocation arrangements in such a crystal in the stress-relaxed condition are, therefore, similar to those in the crystal in the stress-applied condition. For lower stresses, however, i.e., 100 gm/mm' or less, relaxation does occur and the dislocation con- figurationis observed in the stress-relaxed condition very likely do not represent the true dynamic phenomena in the stressed crystal. .
