The strain-rate dependence of flow stress in single crystals of binary, stoichiometric Ni3Al was studied in the temperature region of the yield stress anomaly. Below 400 K, the steady-state flow stress was found to be independent of strain rate, though it changed temporarily when the strain rate was changed. The strain-rate insensitivity can be explained by assuming that the flow stress is controlled by the multiplication/immobilization of mobile dislocations.
