| eavy deformation in alloys eventually produces forms of localized deformation that include coarse slip bands, which are aligned to slip planes, and macroscopic shear bands, which are not aligned to slip planes. These forms of strain localization are important in that they limit the usable ductility of the material in forming processes.;In order to improve the understanding of strain localization in monotonic deformation, channel die compression tests were performed on single crystals of an Al-4.0wt% Cu alloy which were aged so as to engender either ;The critical shear stress for coarse slip band formation was shown to be constant for specimens containing either ;The value of critical shear stress for... |
