Abstract

Alumina single crystals were compressed perpendicular to the [0001] axis at a constant strain rate between 20° and 950°C. At r>200°C, failure was suppressed by_hydrostatic pressures of 500 to 1500 MPa. Prismatic slip {1120}〈1100〉 was deduced from optical observations of the lateral surfaces and from stress‐optical features in thin sections cut from the specimens. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) decreased rapidly with increasing temperature, from a maximum of ∼3000 MPa at 200°C (strain rate 2±10‐−5 s−1). A simple linear law can be fitted with the logarithm of the CRSS as a function of temperature, up to 1800°C. The rate‐controlling mechanism for dislocation glide is likely to be either the Peierls barrier or barriers due to dissociation out of the glide plane.
