Disconnection Motion in Low- and High-Angle Symmetrical Tilt Grain Boundaries in HCP Metal

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structure of disconnections in symmetrical low- and high-angle [0001] tilt boundaries in an hcp metal are studied using atomic-scale simulation. Applied engineering strains cause such defects to move conservatively along the boundaries, producing coupled shear and migration. The Peierls stresses causing such motion are found to decrease precipitously through the transition from low- to high-angle boundaries. The reason underlying this behaviour is discussed.
