Micro-cantilever testing of < a > prismatic slip in commercially pure Ti

Four sizes (1, 2, 5 and 10 μm wide) of single-crystal α-Ti micro-cantilevers were manufactured from polycrystalline commercially pure Ti samples using a focussed ion beam. A nanoindenter was used to conduct micro-bending tests. The crystal orientation and alignment of the micro-cantilever beams were...
