| Abstract Scope |
The main objective of this work is to investigate the effect of crystallographic orientation on the mechanical and corrosion properties of copper single crystals. Copper has unique microbial resistance and the material of choice for 2 Dimensional (2D) materials deposition for a wide range of applications. The lack of grain boundaries in a single crystal will minimize the defects in the 2D coatings and minimize the microbial corrosion. Single copper crystals were produced using Czochralski process, using process parameters such as rotational speed, crystal lift rate and melt temperature were optimized. It is believed that the differences in planar densities in various crystallographic planes would have an influence on both mechanical and corrosion properties. The mechanical properties of single crystals are evaluated using micro indentation technique and corrosion properties of the crystals are evaluated using electrochemical methods. The crystallographic orientation of the crystals was analyzed using XRD and EBSD techniques. |
