Blocking effect of twin boundaries on partial dislocation emission from void surfaces

چکیده
Recent discovery that nanoscale twin boundaries can be introduced in ultrafine-grained metals to improve strength and ductility has renewed interest in the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms of these nanostructured materials. By controlling twin boundary spacing, the effect of twin boundaries on void growth is investigated by using atomistic simulation method. The strength is significantly enhanced due to the discontinuous slip system associated with these coherent interfaces. Atomic-scale mechanisms underlying void growth, as well as the interaction between twin boundaries and the void, are revealed in details.

Formation mechanism of fivefold deformation twins in a face-centered cubic alloy
The formation mechanism considers fivefold deformation twins originating from the grain boundaries in a nanocrystalline material, resulting in that fivefold deformation twins derived from a single crystal have not been reported by molecular dynamics simulations. In this study, fivefold deformation twins are observed in a single crystal of face-centered cubic (fcc) alloy. A new formation mechani...

Dislocation interaction with and accumulation at twin boundaries have been reported to significantly improve the strength and ductility of nanostructured face-centered cubic (fcc) metals and alloys. Here we systematically describe plausible dislocation interactions at twin boundaries. Depending on the characteristics of the dislocations and the driving stress, possible dislocation reactions at ...

The study of the mechanical properties of materials at nanoand sub-micrometer scales is motivated by increasing need for such materials due to miniaturization of engineering and electronic components, development of nanostructured materials, thin film technology and surface science. When the material volume is lowered, characteristic dimensions are reduced that control the material properties a...
متن کاملAtomistic Simulations of Stress Concentration and Dislocation Nucleation at Grain Boundaries
Dislocation channeling observed in irradiated metals has been thought to be one of the key stress factors in irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking since it is an evidence to suggest that the slip deformation is localized and that the strong misfit are generated at grain boundaries. In the present study, the stress concentration and defect nucleation of polycrystalline copper thin film ...
متن کاملVoid-assisted plasticity in Ag nanowires with a single twin structure.
By employing the in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique, tensile deformation behaviors of a silver nanowire (NW) with a single twin structure were studied. Our observations revealed that the initial stage of plastic deformation was dominated by surface-mediated partial dislocation activities. Strikingly, the void formation and growth were shown to govern the later stage of pla...
