Abstract
The extreme plastic anisotropy of α-alumina single crystals (corundum structure) was first clearly demonstrated by Wachtman and Maxwell (1) when they found that temperatures in excess of 1600°C were necessary to activate tensile creep of c-axis oriented single crystals while creep via basal slip could be detected at 900°C. Since then, detailed studies of the yielding and flow behavior of alumina single crystals via basal slip have considered the stress, strain, strain-rate, temperature and impurity content inter-relationships for plastic deformation via this slip system (2,3,4,5).
