| Description | A piece of metal can be deformed permanently if it is pulled sufficiently hard in tension, compression or is twisted through a large enough angle in torsion. When the stress is removed, the dimensions of the piece of metal do not return to their original values as they would do if the deformation were elastic. The permanent distortion suffered by the metal specimen is called plastic deformation. The chief mechanism by which plastic deformation occurs is the motion of dislocations. Because there are an immense number of ways in which dislocations can bring about plastic deformation it is not surprising that this phenomenon is quite complex. The character of plastic deformation is a sensitive function of such variables as temperature, the strain rate of deformation, the past history of the sample, crystal size, and if the sample is a single crystal, the orientation of the axes with respect to the stress system. Much interest has recently been taken also in the influence which small quantities of foreign elements may have on the properties of metals. In fact, impurities play an important part in metal physics research. They form a particular species of point defects, and are able to interact with the other lattice defects which exist in the metal and determine a great number of its properties. It is the purpose of the present work to examine the temperature and solute atoms concentration influence on mechanical properties of Cd-Zn single crystals alloys.
