Title: Effect of neighboring grain orientation on strain localization in slip bands in HCP materials

Abstract

Particularly in plastically anisotropic crystals, such as hexagonal close packed (HCP) materials, plastic deformation is realized by slip acting in the small volumes within individual crystals. Here we extend a full field fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based elasto-viscoplastic formulation to simulate the development of a single slip band on either prismatic or basal planes spanning a crystal. Calculations of the strain and stress fields induced locally within the band and parent crystal, and ahead of the band/grain boundary junction in the neighboring crystal are analyzed as the slip band intensifies under increasing applied strain. We report a substantial influence of the crystallographic orientation of the nearest neighboring grain on the rate of slip band localization. Performing the analysis on two materials, CP-Ti and Mg, indicates that the strength of the material affects the rate of localization, with stronger materials tending to localize more easily. A slip band tip stress-based criterion is proposed for identifying the nearest neighbor orientations in which slip band transmission is possible and the likely slip system for which it occurs. This indicator is validated against experimental studies on commercially pure Ti, an Mg–Y alloy, and Ti–6Al–4V. Finally, we show that for low GB misorientations, the slip bandmore » is likely to transmit into another slip band of the same type in the neighbor grain, while for high GB misorientations, it is likely to transmit into one of a different type or to not transmit at all.« less
