Conclusions
-
1.
In indium films of the test thicknesses, an anomaly is observed in the temperature dependence for ultimate strength; values are close to those for solid metal whereas yield point and CSS are much higher.
-
2.
The presence of grain boundaries affects both indium film strength properties and stress relaxation parameters.
-
3.
Maximum strain and the amount of stress drop in films are more significant than in solid metal.
-
4.
Depending on deformation and temperature, internal stresses in test films may be 0.4–0.9 of the applied loads.
-
5.
The mechanism controlling indium film plastic strain may be crossover of moving dislocations with forest dislocations.
