dc.description.abstractThe influence of crystallographic orientation, contact size and surface roughness effects on incipient plasticity in tungsten were investigated by nanoindentation with indenters with a range of end radius (150, 350, 720 and 2800 nm) in single crystal samples with the (100) and (111) orientations. Results for the single crystals were compared to those for a reference polycrystalline tungsten sample tested under the same conditions. Surface roughness measurements showed that the Ra surface roughness was around 2, 4, and 6 nm for the (100), (111) and polycrystalline samples respectively. A strong size effect was observed, with the stress for incipient plasticity increasing as the indenter radius decreased. The maximum shear stress approached the theoretical shear strength when W(100) was indented using the tip with the smallest radius. The higher roughness and greater dislocation density on the W(111) and polycrystalline samples contributed to yield occurring at lower stresses.en_UK
