Crystals of aluminum, oriented for single slip, were deformed up to 1% glide strain. Specimens for diffraction electron microscopy were prepared, and direct observations on dislocations were made. The presence of three-dimensional tangles as well as small prismatic dislocation loops was established. Considerations have been made as to how the tangles were formed. It was further concluded that dislocations move in glide zones, mainly between tangles which can act as sources for dislocations and as obstacles against their motion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
