A microcantilever investigation of size effect, solid-solution strengthening and second-phase strengthening for < a > prism slip in alpha-Ti

Microcantilevers of various sizes were machined using a focused ion beam from commercially pure (CP) Ti, Ti-6Al and Ti-6Al-4V, and tested in bending using a nanoindentor in order to study the size effect, solution strengthening and second-phase strengthening in α-Ti. Slip on the 〈a〉 prismatic system...
