Abstract: | At 450?°C, pure nickel and nickel binary solid solutions, containing Ru, Rh, W, Re, Ir and Pt, have a smooth load–depth curves. In contrast, the alloying addition of Nb, Mo, Pd and Ta results in the occurrence of serrations in their load–depth profiles. Analyses show the load increment of the quasi-elastic segments scales linearly with the load at their starting point. The slope of such linear relationships was normalized by the solute concentration and then plotted against the diffusion rate of transition metal solutes within the nickel lattice and along dislocation cores. Linear relationships were observed in both cases. Results suggest that the solute diffusion along dislocation cores coupled with the atomic size misfit are mainly responsible for such serrations. |
