Abstract

Based on the superkink model, an explanation is given in this paper for the small strain-rate sensitivity of the anomalous yield stress of Ni3Al. The yield stress is proposed to be the stress needed to destabilise the average superkinks and it varies inversely with superkink height. The yield stress is insensitive to the strain-rate because the superkink height is controlled by the rate at which the superkink widens and is not directly related with the superkink propagation speed.
