Abstract

Deformation on a single freestanding metallic object of submicron size is usually not performed. That is primarily because it is not easy to handle isolated single objects in this size scale. Here we demonstrate a method of performing compression testing on a freestanding cubic shaped single crystalline Ni3Al-type nanoparticle (∼300 nm). The particles were deformed with the help of a nano-manipulation system inside a scanning electron microscope. The nanoscale test specimens were obtained from a nickel-based superalloy by electrochemically extracting the Ni3Al-γ′ precipitates. Stress-strain curves are generated when a cubic particle is deformed under compression between a tungsten “micro-hammer” and a silicon “micro-anvil”. Deformations conducted on particles in two different states, undeformed and predeformed, show distinctly different deformation behaviour. Sudden strain “bursts” are observed during tests on undeformed specimens indicating that deformation is possibly governed by dislocation nucleation in the defect-free nano-object. Predeformed specimens on the other hand, show a different deformation behaviour as they contain a significant amount of defects introduced during prior deformation.
