Résumé : |
The name “Gum Metal” has been given to a set of β-Ti alloys that achieve exceptional elastic elongation and, with appropriate preparation, appear to deform by a dislocation-free mechanism triggered by elastic instability at the limit of strength. We have studied the compressive deformation of these materials with in situ nanocompression in a quantitative stage in a transmission electron microscope. The samples studied are cylindrical nanopillars 80–250 nm in diameter. The deformation pattern is monitored in real time using bright-field microscopy, dark-field microscopy or electron diffraction. Interesting results include the following: (i) nanopillars approach, and in several examples appear to reach, ideal strength; (ii) in contrast to conventional crystalline materials, there is no substantial “size effect” in pillar strength; (iii) the deformation mode is fine-scale with respect to the sample dimension, even in pillars of 100 nm size; (iv) shear bands (“giant faults”) do form in some tests, but only after yield and plastic deformation; and (v) a martensitic transformation to the base-centered orthorhombic α′′ phase is sometimes observed, but is an incidental feature of the deformation rather than a significant cause of it. |
