It was o b s e r v e d 4 that the l i m i t of p a r t i c l e r e lated work hardening coincided with this deviation from p a r a b o l i c hardening in the F e - T a a l l o y s ; however, in the Fe-ThOz and Ni-ThO2 a l l o y s the p a r t i c l e r e l a t e d work hardening did not s e e m to s a t u r a t e as in the F e Ta a l l o y s .

RUSSELL H. JONES In his work hardening model for single c r y s t a l s containing hard, n o n - d e f o r m a b l e p a r t i c l e s , Ashby I p r o posed that g e o m e t r i c a l l y n e c e s s a r y s e c o n d a r y d i s l o c a tions a r e generated about a p a r t i c l e as p l a s t i c flow p r o c e e d s . The flow s t r e s s was p r o p o s e d to be dependent on the square r o o t of the s h e a r s t r a i n . Support for this model was given by Ebeling and Ashby e for copper single c r y s t a l s containing SiO2 p a r t i c l e s . The followIng r e l a t i o n s h i p was p r e s e n t e d : 7" = r y + CG ( b f y / D ) 112

Ashby and Ebeling mobtained a value of 0.24 • 0.04 for the constant C while Ashby z p r e d i c t e d a value of 0.24. This t h e o r e t i c a l value was obtained by taking the p r o b a b i l i t y of one s e c o n d a r y loop i n t e r s e c t i n g a p r i m a r y slip plane as I / d - 2 t i m e s the a v e r a g e loop d i a m e t e r and the r e s u l t s of Kroupa a for the a v e r a g e f o r c e e x e r t e d by one loop opposing a s t r a i g h t d i s l o c a tion in its slip plane. This model, adapted for p o l y c r y s t a l s , has been used by Jones 4 to calculate the s t r e s s - s t r a i n behavior of p o l y c r y
