Abstract
Single crystal specimens of Fe-17 at. % Ga were tested in tension at room temperature. Specimens with a tensile axis orientation of [110] displayed slip lines on the specimen faces corresponding to slip on the {110}with a critical resolved shear stress of 220 MPa. Yielding began at 0.3% elongation and 450 MPa. An ultimate tensile strength of 580 MPa was observed with no fracture occurring through 1.6% elongation. The Young"s modulus was 160 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson"s ratio of -0.37 on the (100) major face. A specimen with a tensile axis orientation of [100] showed slip lines corresponding to slip on the {211}with critical resolved shear stress of 240 MPa. Discontinuous yielding began at 0.8% elongation, which was thought to result from twinning, kink band formation, or stress-induced transformation. The Young's modulus was 65 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson"s ratio of 0.45 on the (001) major face. A maximum tensile strength of 515 MPa was observed with fracture occurring after 2% elongation. A sizeable elastic anisotropy of 19.9 was identified for Fe-27.2 at. % Ga accompanied by a Poisson's ratio of -0.75 to produce a large in-plane auxetic behavior.
