Title: Atomistic simulations of dislocation pileup: Grain boundaries interaction

Abstract

Here, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we studied the dislocation pileup–grain boundary (GB) interactions. Two Σ11 asymmetrical tilt grain boundaries in Al are studied to explore the influence of orientation relationship and interface structure on dislocation activities at grain boundaries. To mimic the reality of a dislocation pileup in a coarse-grained polycrystalline, we optimized the dislocation population in MD simulations and developed a predict-correct method to create a dislocation pileup in MD simulations. MD simulations explored several kinetic processes of dislocations–GB reactions: grain boundary sliding, grain boundary migration, slip transmission, dislocation reflection, reconstruction of grain boundary, and the correlation of these kinetic processes with the available slip systems across the GB and atomic structures of the GB.

Figures / Tables:

Figure 1 Figure 1: Schematics of dislocation pileup — grain boundary interactions shows four reaction modes at GBs: slip transmission for a lattice glide dislocation across the grain boundary, slip reflection at the grain boundary, gliding of interface dislocation/disconnection along the grain boundary and climbing of interface dislocation/step along the grain boundary.more » Particularly, these processes could occur at GBs, individual or couple, resulting in many deformation modes.« less
