Slip Activity in Single Grains Extracted from Polycrystalline Specimen by X-Ray Line Broadening (Preprint)

Abstract

Slip activity, Burgers vector populations, and dislocation densities were determined by X-ray line-profile analysis of peaks from individual grains in a bulk polycrystalline sample. The method was tested at the focused X-ray beamline ID11 at the European Synchrotron Research Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France and was applied to a bulk commercial-purity titanium specimen for which slip activity was determined for 49 single grains. The most-active slip systems were of <a> and <c+a> type, and the orientation of the stresses acting on these slip systems revealed a spread due to the effect of neighborhood grains on plastic response. The new x-ray method can provide input for crystal-plasticity analyses and permits experimental verification of the results of numerical calculations which was not possible before.
