Abstract
The effect of high pressure on the mechanical behavior and accompanying microstructural evolution in Ta has been investigated. Thin-foil Ta samples were deformed while being subjected to pressures in the 1–5 GPa range in a modified opposed-anvil Bridgman apparatus. Examination of deformed microstructures revealed similar changes in texture in all samples, independent of pressure. However, dislocation structures are observed to change from entanglements to well-developed dislocation cells with increasing pressure. Dislocation dynamics simulations are used to explain the experimental results.
