Flow Stress in Submicron BCC Iron Single Crystals: Sample-size-dependent Strain-rate Sensitivity and Rate-dependent Size Strengthening

Through in situ scanning electron microscope microcompression tests, we demonstrated that the strain-rate sensitivity of body-centered cubic single crystal iron pillars will be reduced by one order when the pillar size was reduced from 1000 to about 200 nm. In addition, size-strengthening exponent e...
