Stable Stacking Faults Bounded by Frank Partial Dislocations in Al7075 Formed through Precipitate and Dislocation Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through high-resolution electron microscopy, stacking faults (SFs) due to Frank partial dislocations were found in an aluminum alloy following deformation with low strain and strain rate, while also remaining stable during artificial aging. Extrinsic stacking faults were found surrounded by dislocation areas and precipitates. An intrinsic stacking fault was found between two Guinier-Preston II (GP II) zones when the distance of the two GP II zones was 2 nm. Defects (precipitates and dislocations) are considered to have an influence on the formation of the SFs, as their appearance may cause local strain and promote the gathering of vacancies to lower the energy.

Atomic-scale dynamic process of deformation-induced stacking fault tetrahedra in gold nanocrystals.
Stacking fault tetrahedra, the three-dimensional crystalline defects bounded by stacking faults and stair-rod dislocations, are often observed in quenched or irradiated face-centred cubic metals and alloys. All of the stacking fault tetrahedra experimentally observed to date are believed to originate from vacancies. Here we report, in contrast to the classical vacancy-originated ones, a new kin...
متن کاملStacking faults and partial dislocations in graphene
We investigate two mechanisms of crystallographic slip in graphene, corresponding to glide and shuffle generalized stacking faults (GSF), and compute their -curves using Sandia National Laboratories Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS). We find evidence of metastable partial dislocations for the glide GSF only. The computed values of the stable and unstable stackin...
متن کاملInvestigation of extended stacking fault emission from grain boundaries using a density functional theory -informed 3D phase field dislocation dynamics model
As characteristic length scales shrink (<100 nm) in fcc metals, alternative deformation mechanisms not seen in bulk and course-grained material counterparts emerge. In particular in grain sizes on the order of 10s of nanometers, plasticity is mediated by the motion and interaction of partial dislocations and extended stacking faults. Typically, partial dislocations nucleate at grain boundary de...

Numerous theoretical and experimental efforts have been paid to describe and understand the dislocation and void nucleation processes that are fundamental for dynamic fracture modeling of strained metals. To date an essential physical picture on the self-organized atomic collective motions during dislocation creation, as well as the essential mechanisms for the void nucleation obscured by the e...
متن کاملA modified model for deformation via partial dislocations and stacking faults at the nanoscale
The partial dislocation model for the deformation mechanism of nanocrystalline materials is extended to consider the influence of non-uniform dislocation extension. The non-uniform partial dislocation extension model is more consistent with experimental data than the original partial dislocation model. Additionally, the flow stress obtained from the non-uniform extension model is compared with ...
