Title: Dislocation dynamics in Ni{sub 3}Al: Experiments and computations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20001683

A modified electrolytic etchant has been successfully used to observe dislocation etch-pits on {l{underscore}brace}100{r{underscore}brace} surfaces of single crystal Ni{sub 3}Al containing Hf and B additions. Four-point bending tests have been used to obtain the dependence of dislocation velocity on resolved shear stress at room temperature. A comparison with earlier studies reveal that the rate of change of dislocation velocity with resolved shear stress, to a first approximation, is independent of alloying. Atomic level simulations have been performed using the embedded atom method (EAM) to study dislocation core structures and frictional stress in Ni{sub 3}Al.
