Molecular Statics Analyses of Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Hydrogen Cottrell Atmosphere Formation Around Edge Dislocations in Aluminum
Abstract
Aluminum alloys are being explored as lightweight structural materials for use in hydrogen-containing environments. In this paper, to understand hydrogen effects on deformation, we perform molecular statics studies of the hydrogen Cottrell atmosphere around edge dislocations in aluminum. First, we calculate the hydrogen binding energies at all interstitial sites in a periodic aluminum crystal containing an edge dislocation dipole. This allows us to use the Boltzmann equation to quantify the hydrogen Cottrell atmosphere. Based on these binding energies, we then construct a continuum model to study the kinetics of the hydrogen Cottrell atmosphere formation. Finally, we compare our results with existing theories and discuss the effects of hydrogen on deformation of aluminum-based alloys.
