Characterisation of plastic zones around crack-tips in pure single-crystal tungsten using electron backscatter diffraction

Plastic zones around crack-tips in tungsten were characterised by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Pre-cracks were made in ∼1mm square cross section beams of pure single-crystal tungsten using a spark erosion method. The beams were loaded at different temperatures to a range of stress intens...
