Such features will be examined on the basis of thermally activated dislocation processes, considering the influence of test parameters such as temperature and strain rate, and material parameters such as crystal composition and orientation. Detailed analyses of deformation modes by slip step studies, transmission electron microscopy examinations of dislocation structures, and texture studies will also be considered. Observations of dislocation structures are clearly of great interest for suggesting the possible models of deformation, but suffer from two major weaknesses: the post mortem structures in samples deformed at high temperature may not be the same as those producing plasticity; almost all possible hypotheses for strengthening can find support from such observations, since almost all imaginable dislocation configurations can be found with sufficient diligence by the researcher. Strengthening at intermediate temperatures in DO 3 and B2 ordered iron aluminides will be analysed here, making combined use of observations of deformation structures and examinations of the influence of varying the deformation parameters.展开更多
