Interaction of interstitial atoms with dislocations in metals
- Institut fur Werkstoffwissenschaften, Stuttgart (Germany, F.R.)
Internal friction of {alpha}-Fe and group V transition metals containing the interstitial solute atoms C, N and O display Snoek-Koster peaks at temperatures substantially higher than the corresponding Snoek peaks. Peak position and height depend on degree of cold work and interstitial content. Experiments on monocrystals of Nb-O, Ta-O and Fe-N clearly indicate that there exist two relaxation processes: SK-1 (the classical cold-work peak) and another peak, SK-2. In a recent theory the SK relaxation is attributed to thermally activated formation of kink pairs in a a/2 <111> screw dislocation in the presence of interstitials. Basic assumptions and atomistic parameters within this theory are in agreement with experiments; it is especially able to explain that the high temperature SK-2 peak may have a lower activation enthalpy than the low temperature SK-1 peak.
