Abstract

The use of transient mechanical tests such as repeated load relaxations and repeated creep tests provide some insight on the respective contribution of mobile dislocation densities and velocities to the plastic strain-rate and also on the hardening mechanisms. Improvements of the second technique are reported as well as results on Ni3Al polycrystals. Other materials (e.g. Cu, TiAl) are considered for comparison. Correlations are found between dislocation exhaustion rates, workhardening coefficients and the amplitude of yield point at reloading after the relaxations.
