Abstract: | The deformation of the (001) plane of LiF and NaCl by indentation and scratching at high temperatures was performed. The dislocation patterns arising from deformation were sharply different from those observed at room temperature. It was proposed the explanation of these results. The model of plastic flow in (001) indentation and scratching were considered. Anisotropy of hardness by the scratch method was revealed clearly at high temperatures. It was proposed the explanation of the anisotropy of hardness. The correlation was established between the dislocation structures observed near the indentations and scratches. |
