“…It is suggested that the grain rotation is a significant factor only for very small grains and at very high temperatures 1 , and the growth mechanism is associated with gradual GB dissociation caused by dislocation motion 15,16 . For GB migration, the motion of a low-angle GB (LAGB) is generally related to the collective motion of the individual dislocations in these boundaries [17][18][19][20] , while the migration of a high-angle GB (HAGB) is mainly described by the shuffling model 21 , the DSC (displacement shift complete) model [22][23][24] and the shear coupling models 13,25,26 . In the DSC model, the HAGB migration is attributed to the motion of the secondary GB dislocations, which result in a combined GB migration and sliding 27 .…”

Nanotwin-assisted grain growth in nanocrystalline gold films under cyclic loading

Under mechanical loading, nanocrystalline metals show unique behaviour, among the most common of which are high strength, mechanically induced grain growth and twin formation. However, mechanically induced grain growth is seldom correlated with twins. Here we report a clear relationship between grain growth and nanoscale twins in 20-nm-thick gold films with a grain size of B19 nm under cyclic loading based on atomic-scale observations and analyses. We find that the formation of nanotwins is an effective way to assist grain coarsening, following a fundamental process that the mutual formation of nanotwins in two neighbouring grains changes the local grain orientation and dissociates the grain boundary into new segments, which become more mobile. The proposed mechanism of nanotwin-assisted grain growth may have important implications for understanding the interface-mediated mechanisms of cyclic plastic deformation and for the interface engineering design of nanostructured metals with both high strength and good fatigue resistance.

“…This situation is described as a distributed shear and is effectively a diffuse semicoherent boundary. An exactly similar boundary can occur in a "A-type" interface transformation (Basinski andChristian, 1954a, 1954b). Apart from such special cases, however, most semicoherent boundaries are probably sharp rather than diffuse,…”

IntroductionThe stress-induced movement of low-angle tilt boundaries has bee9 observed in single • crystals of zinc by several investigators (1-6). The motion o,f the. boundary under the action of a sheer stress in the direction of the Burgers vector of the dislocations comprising the boundary is well established. However the reported modes of the boundary motion are different from one invest'igation to another. Bainbridge et al. (3) have obse.rved that the movement at room temperature was jerky and during each jlUIIp the boundary moved through an appreciable volume of the material while Vreeland (4) reports a smooth and continuous motion at the same temperature. One would probably attribute this discrepancy to the different levels of impurity content. Zinc· crystals of 99.99 wt% p_uri_ty were used in the former investigation while crystals of higher purity (99.999 wt%) and zone refined zinc were used in the latter. Thus we decided to examine this point further by introducing much higher doses of substitutional solute atoms into the crystals. We used alloy crystals containing controlled amounts of silver as an alloying element in addition to high purity zinc crystals. ·Experimental Single crystals of high purity zinc (99.999+ wt%) and alloys containing 0.05, 0.10 and 0. 21 wt% silver. were grown in a graphite mold under helium atmosphere by a modified Bridgman technique at a rate of 0.4 em/hr.· The crystals we!e rectangular 1.3 em x 0.7 em and 8 em long and were orient-ed in the direction [1120] with their basal planes parailel to the wider faces. The side faces were parallel to the prismatic planes. In the case of alloy crystals,· a reservoir was designed in the upper portion of the mold (7) to reduce the concentration gradient along the 8 em length to about ±3%. The top parts were removed by spark cutting and the samples were cut to 2.5 em length by an acid sawing technique. Then the fol.lowing sequence of preparation and annealing under He atmosphere was applied: i) 1-hr. anneal at 400°C and furnace cool; ii) side surfaces were acid polished; iii) cleaved along the basal plane to reveal the natural surface of this plane; iv) 1-hr. anneal at 400°C and furnace cool; v) ~2° angle tilt boundary (FIG. 1) introduced by bending at room temperature; vi) 1-hr. anneal at 400°C and furnace cooled to 200°C; 2. vii) 48..:hr. aging at 200°C followed by air quench and then stored in liquid nitrogen for testing.The cleaved specimens were 2.5 em long, "-0~8 em wide and 0.2 to 0.4 em ~hick. The width and thickness could not be controlled very closely due to the difficulty of cleaving the acid polishing.The observation of the boundary motion was performed by using essentially the same r technique and stressing apparatus as used by Bainbridge et al. (3). The displacements of the Further movement starts with a jumping motion at a discontinuously increased stress level.However the motion at room temperature is different and the original position does not impose an increased stress. This phenomenon was not obserlled in the earlie...
