Abstract:To investigate the sliding properties of pyroxene as one of the main rock-forming minerals in the lower crust, we employed diopside (clinopyroxene) as a gouge sample to perform velocity-stepping sliding tests under hydrothermal conditions with an effective normal stress of about 200 MPa, pore pressure of 30 MPa and temperatures from 100 ℃ to 600 ℃. During shearing, sliding rate was stepped between 0.122 μm·s-1 and 1.22 μm·s-1 to acquire the rate dependence. In the tests, diopside was found to be velocity-strengthening between 102 ℃ and 200 ℃, which transitioned to velocity-weakening at about 215 ℃. Above 310 ℃, the degrees of velocity-weakening were not significantly affected by the increase of temperature, and the velocity dependence parameters a and b values exhibited similar temperature dependence. Microscopic observations on deformed samples showed that the main microstructural feature associated with the velocity-strengthening behavior was dominated by several through-going R1 shears, cracks with curvatures induced by unloading formed mostly along R1 shears. The main microstructural associated with the velocity-weakening behavior was featured by more distributive planar shears, B shear zones at gouge-wall rock boundaries were widely found, leading to much more short and straight cracks induced during unloading.
