Study data from Vanderbilt University update understanding of metals
March 17th, 2008
According to recent research from the United States, "In this study, the mechanical properties, deformation behavior, and fracture modes of iron-silicon melt-spun ribbons are related to changes in silicon composition from 4.5 to 6.5 wt pct and the influence of ordering phase transformations. The as-solidified melt-spun ribbons, which exhibit plasticity even for the Fe-6.5 wt pct Si composition, provide the opportunity to characterize dislocation glide." "Tensile deformation with a plastic strain of similar to 2 pct produced planar slip of pure edge and pure screw mainly on {112} slip planes although slip on {011} and {123} planes was also observed. The extended...
