Microhardness Indentation Studies of 2‐4‐6 Trinitrotoluene

The microhardness of the {001} faces of 2‐4‐6 trinitrotoluene crystals has been investigated using both Vickers and Knoop indentation methods. The Vickers hardness number was found to be 22.5 kg mm−2 independent of crystal orientation and perfection. At ambient temperatures (∼20 °C) the Knoop hardne...

description The microhardness of the {001} faces of 2‐4‐6 trinitrotoluene crystals has been investigated using both Vickers and Knoop indentation methods. The Vickers hardness number was found to be 22.5 kg mm−2 independent of crystal orientation and perfection. At ambient temperatures (∼20 °C) the Knoop hardness number varied between 20.5 kg mm−2 and 24.0 kg mm−2 with crystal orientation. At higher temperature (50 °C) the Knoop hardness anisotropy curve retained its shape, although the overall hardness decreased by 10 %. We interpret this change as reflecting a simple temperature dependant loosening of the crystal lattice rather than any change in deformation mechanism. No variation of Knoop hardness was evident with changing load. The hard direction was [010] and the soft [100]. The dominant operative slip system was defined to be {001}[010].
