Atomistic Simulation on the Twin Boundary Migration in Mg under Shear Deformation

Abstract

In this paper, the {10true1¯2} twinning and detwinning was studied by molecular dynamics simulation under different shear directions and strain rates. The results showed that the twin was thickened under [true1¯011] shear direction and shrunken with shearing in the opposite direction. The critical resolved shear stress of {10true1¯2} twin boundary migration increased with the increase of the strain rate. By analyzing the atom’s displacement, it was concluded that the {10true1¯2} twin migration was achieved by both the shear and the atomic shuffling. Every atom would be affected by the shear, and different shear directions would cause opposite move directions, which led to twinning or detwinning. The atom shuffling was only used for adjusting the glide twin boundary and mirror-symmetric twin boundary structure evolution.

Deciphering the interactions between single arm dislocation sources and coherent twin boundary in nickel bi-crystal

“…Indeed, the two TDs of Eq. (1) form a pair of up-down single atomic steps that induce CTB sliding when moving in the same direction 5,22,[25][26][27] . The glide of the same two TDs in opposite directions would induce CTB migration by one atomic step 25 .…”

Experimental study on dynamic recrystallization of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V at different strain rates

“…There exists work that investigates the conditions for dynamic recrystallization at matrix (α-Mg) and the phase interface (18R-LPSO) that built [5]. Some scholars have studied the lattice structure of silver with dynamic recrystallization by molecular dynamics [6]; The twin of magnesium alloys dynamics recrystallization microstructural evolution was investigated under different conditions by molecular dynamics method [7]. Most of these studies focus on the recrystallization of metals at a strain rate.…”
