Dislocations with edge components in nanocrystalline bcc Mo

چکیده
We report high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observation of a high density of dislocations with edge components (;10 m ) in nanocrystalline (NC) body-centered cubic (bcc) Mo prepared by high-pressure torsion. We also observed for the first time of the 1⁄2,111. and,001. pure edge dislocations in NC Mo. Crystallographic analysis and image simulations reveal that the best way using HRTEM to study dislocations with edge components in bcc systems is to take images along ,110. zone axis, from which it is possible to identify 1⁄2,111. pure edge dislocations, and edge components of 1⁄2,111. and ,001. mixed dislocations. The ,001. pure edge dislocations can only be identified from,100. zone axis. The high density of dislocations with edge components is believed to play a major role in the reduction of strain rate sensitivity in NC bcc metals and alloys.

A new regime for mechanical annealing and strong sample-size strengthening in body centred cubic molybdenum.
Because of crystal symmetry, body centred cubic (BCC) metals have large differences in lattice friction between screw and edge dislocations, and manifest generally different mechanical behaviours from face centred cubic (FCC) metals. Although mechanical annealing (significant drop in stored dislocation density in response to applie...
متن کاملAb initio study of screw dislocations in Mo and ta: A new picture of plasticity in bcc transition metals
We report the first ab initio density-functional study of <111> screw dislocation cores in the bcc transition metals Mo and Ta. Our results suggest a new picture of bcc plasticity with symmetric and compact dislocation cores, contrary to the presently accepted picture based on continuum and interatomic potentials. Core energy scales in this new picture are in much better agreement with the Peie...
متن کاملTensile behavior of Al1 xMox crystalline and amorphous thin films
The exceptional strength and distinct deformation physics exhibited by pure ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline metals in comparison to their microcrystalline counterparts have been ascribed to the dominant influence of grain boundaries in accommodating plastic flow. Such grain-boundary-mediated mechanisms can be augmented by additional strengthening in nanocrystalline alloys via solute and p...
متن کاملAnomalous bias factors of dislocations in bcc iron
Dislocation bias factors in bcc Fe have been calculated based on atomistic interaction energy maps on three kinds of dislocations, namely the a0/2〈111〉{110} screw, a0/2〈111〉{110} and a0〈100〉{001} edge dislocations. The results show that the dislocation bias is higher for the a0/2〈111〉 edge dislocation than for the a0〈100〉 edge dislocation, even though the latter possesses a larger Burgers vecto...
متن کاملVoid Growth in BCC Metals Simulated with Molecular Dynamics using the Finnis - Sinclair Potential
The process of fracture in ductile metals involves the nucleation, growth, and linking of voids. This process takes place both at the low rates involved in typical engineering applications and at the high rates associated with dynamic fracture processes such as spallation. Here we study the growth of a void in a single crystal at high rates using molecular dynamics (MD) based on Finnis-Sinclair...
