Description
The flow stress distribution below the surface of previously deformed large copper single crystals is obtained when these are sliced into smaller component crystals. It is found that a considerable flow stress gradient extends for a distance of about 2 mm below the surface, measured along the slip direction. Electron microscope studies show that there is an increase in the cell size of dislocation structures near the surface and a decrease in dislocation density. On the basis of flow stress distribution measurements the stress–strain curves of single crystals of the same orientation but different sizes are shown to be consistent with the complete absence of a stage II in an infinitely large crystal. It is further shown experimentally that for very large crystals the value of τ111 is reduced considerably. This leads to the conclusion that τ111 should not be related to a fundamental physical phenomenon such as the stacking-fault energy of a metal. © 1968 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
