Lithium fluoride single crystals which had been annealed in various gases, abraded with papers of different grits, etched, polished, and coated with metals before testing were deformed in compression. Another series of tests was performed in which the specimens were deformed while immersed in mineral, fatty, dicarboxylic, and tricarboxylic acids and in xanthates, Aero‐floats, amines, water, and bases. Attempts to correlate the observed mechanical properties and the environment or surface condition were partly successful. The appearance of the stress lines and the fracture characteristics of these crystals were also investigated.
