Dislocation cross-slip in precipitation hardened Mg–Nd alloys
Abstract
An integrated experimental characterization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation approach was used to explore the dislocation-precipitate interactions in a dilute Magnesium–Neodymium (Mg–Nd) precipitation hardened alloy. In situ indentation in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and postmortem TEM characterization of deformed samples and MD simulations revealed that basal < a > type dislocations interacted differently with β1 (Mg3Nd) and β"(Mg3-7Nd) precipitates. For β" precipitates, the basal dislocations directly shear the precipitates. For β1 precipitates, such shearing becomes much more difficult because it requires the creation of antiphase boundaries in the ordered lattice of β1 precipitates. Screw dislocations were observed to cross-slip from basal to the prismatic plane, which could be parallel to the broad facet of β1 precipitates. It is postulated that double cross-slip (basal to prismatic to basal) via the Hirsch mechanism may enable screw dislocations to overcome the β1 precipitates. MD simulations also revealed that an edge dislocation is unable to bypass the precipitate via the generation of screw dislocation segments plus the double cross-slip mechanism. The edge dislocation can bow around the precipitate, and the segment that adopts a screw character can cross-slip to the prismatic plane but with increasing applied stress, cross-slips back to the original basalmore »
