FABRICATION AND PLASTIC BEHAVIOR OF SINGLE CRTSTAL MgO-NiO AND MgO-MnO SOLID SOLUTION ALLOYS Twenty First Technical Report

摘要

A method of producing solid solution MgO-NiO and MgO-MnO single crystals is presented. The compressive yield strength of MgO is shown to increase nearly four-fold when small amounts of either NiO or MnO is in solid solution in MgO. The cleavage and slip behavior of these alloy crystals are found to be identical to that of MgO.
