Cyclic deformation leads to defect healing and strengthening of small-volume metal crystals

Cyclic deformation leads to defect healing and strengthening of small-volume metal crystals

When microscopic and macroscopic specimens of metals are subjected to cyclic loading, the creation, interaction, and accumulation of defects lead to damage, cracking, and failure. Here we demonstrate that when aluminum single crystals of submicrometer dimensions are subjected to low-amplitude cyclic...
