An ultrasonic method was used to identify crack initiation. Fatigue in a vacuum produces oxide cracks that are wider and fewer in number and results in an increase in fatigue life. Although the mode of fracture of both oxide and matrix is strongly dependent upon oxide thickness, it was found that neither the cycles to crack initiation nor the total fatigue lives were dependent upon oxide thickness.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133326466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 4 wt.-% alloy showed a significant weakening effect below 100K. The temperature-dependence of the strain-rate-sensitivity for the alloys is discontinuous and indicates two different deformation mechanisms. At high temperatures a mechanism is operative that has a high H 0 value, i.e. 1.5eV. It is probably a distortion mechanism controlled by titanium atoms in clumps. At low temperatures the double-kink mechanism is rate-controlling. The titanium clumps can aid in the formation of double kinks by producing a torque on the screw dislocation. This torque reduces the τ* necessary for the formation of a double link, and therefore, “alloy weakening” is observed. The results strongly indicate that in relatively pure vanadium (< 50 at.-ppm) the impurity interstitials are not affecting τ*.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114657945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In each case an abundant supply of thermal vacancies, which sustain equilibrium between the gas pressure and surface-tension restraint of the bubble, is taken to be available throughout the growth process.
