A ductile damage progress of an aluminum single crystal with the prior activity of the single slip system under tensile loading was verified by a profile analysis using white X-ray obtained in BL28B2 beam line of SPring-8. In profile analysis, an instrumental function was defined in consideration both of a divergence by slits and a response function peculiar to the energy dispersive method. As a result, dislocation density increased as ductile damage progressed, but it was relatively low near the notch. The influence of a release of the strain energy by a ductile damage progress was expected. The characteristics of ductile damage progress near the notch of the aluminum single crystal with a prior activity of a single slip system under the tensile loading were clarified from the distribution of dislocation density.
