Abstract: | The deformation characteristics contributing to the superior cavitation erosion properties of HCP cobalt single crystals have
been determined. Results indicate that its erosion response is highly orientation sensitive. A homogeneous distribution of
and
glide occurs in {0110} crystals, whereas slip in the (0001) crystals is much more heterogeneous and consists mainly of
dislocations. Continued exposure to cavitation nucleates a large number of twins, predominantly on the
and
planes in the
and (0001) crystals respectively. The former twins are finer and more needle-like than the latter. The
crystals are also significantly more erosion resistant than the (0001) crystals. The twin density increases continuously
with cavitation exposure until a dense network of twins spans the entire exposed area. This fine-scale twinning is considered
responsible for the superior erosion resistance of the metal. |
