Abstract
Magnesium aluminate spinel (MgO·2.9Al2O3) single crystals were deformed in compression along the [001] direction at temperatures between 1100° and 1500°C. Dislocations introduced by plastic deformation were observed by transmission electron microscopy. These dislocations lead to plasticity at a temperature where undeformed spinel has no ductility. Further, room‐temperature Vickers hardness decreases after plastic deformation at 1500°C.
