Formability: strain localization on grain boundaries up to 0.5 mm displacement found between neighboring grains
Plastic Properties of Niobium BCC Crystal Structure < 111 > slip direction (close-packed direction) Any plane containing < 111 > is a potential slip plane Experimentally observed in (110), (112) & (123) planes
Yield Stress • YS between 25 MPa and 40 MPa • weak anisotropy • 25% YS of poly-crystal Polycrystal Single crystal
R-Values • Extreme anisotropy from r=0 (thinning only) to r>1 (no thinning) • Polycrystal r=0.1 • Large r-values for {210}<-120>
Effect of Annealing • Yield stress and yield drop increase with annealing temperature
D - Plane Strain localization
EBSD: Misorientations at the tri-junction • Slip lines and small-angle grain boundaries • Diffuse slip, most likely from rapidly changing strain gradients leading to succession of activation/deactivation of localized slip systems
What is known …. Full strain rate tensor at every point on the sample and in time orientations What is needed … Slip systems that are locally active at a given point in time Analysis of present data
Taylor’s model • Imposed strain rate tensor • Write the strain rate tensor as a combination of all the slip systems
Conclusions • 5 Multi-axial straining tests of tri-crystal plates with identical orientation performed • Local strain rate data collected • Orientation analysis with EBSD GOAL: determination of locally active slip systems for any given moment
