Lattice Displacement

Many high-angle grain boundaries in cubic crystals are thought to be either coincidence boundaries (1) or coincidence boundaries to which grain boundary dislocations have been added (1,2). Calculations of the arrangement of atoms inside coincidence boundaries suggest that the coincidence lattice will usually not be continuous across a coincidence boundary (3). There will usually be a rigid displacement of the lattice on one side of the boundary relative to that on the other. This displacement gives rise to a stacking fault in the coincidence lattice.Recently, Pond (4) and Smith (5) have measured the lattice displacement at coincidence boundaries in aluminum. We have developed (6) an alternative to the measuring technique used by them, and have used it to find two of the three components of the displacement at {112} lateral twin boundaries in gold. This paper describes our method and presents a brief account of the results we have obtained.

AbstractGeneral high-angle tilt grain boundaries may be described by an arrangement of repeating structural units. Some grain-boundary defects may also be modeled by the incorporation of structural units of related boundary structures into the boundary. The simulation of these structures requires the use of prohibitively large unit cells. The possibility of modeling these boundaries by the superposition of image simulations of the individual structural units isinvestigated.

AbstractVarious morphologies are observed where twins meet grain boundaries in YBa2Cu3O7−δ. Twins may be “correlated” at the boundary (i.e. twin boundaries from one grain may meet a twin boundary from the other grain in a quadruple junction) and the twins may be narrowed or “constricted” at the boundary. These effects are determined by the interfacial energy. We estimate the energy of the various interfaces by determining the dislocation arrays they contain, using the constrained coincidence site lattice (CCSL) model and Bollmann's O2-lattice formalism. Our approach indicates that there are significant changes in the energy of the interfaces and is thus able to explain the variety of observed morphologies.

AbstractTwins in YBa2Cu3O7-δ may be “correlated” at [001] tilt grain boundaries (i.e. twin boundaries from one grain may meet twin boundaries from the other grain in quadruple junctions) and the twins may also be narrowed or “constricted” at the boundary. These effects are more pronounced in the regime of small angle grain boundaries. Based on TEM observations, a tentative threshold misorientation angle of approximately 15° is identified, below which there is a significant driving force reducing the system energy by correlation. The energies of various grain boundary domain structures associated with the twins were estimated on the basis of the dislocations they contain. Success has been obtained in explaining twin correlation in symmetrical tilt boundaries.

ABSTRACTThe damage accumulation behavior of different grain boundary structures in Inconel 690 (Ni-29wt%Cr-9wt%Fe) was investigated in the presence of large, localized plastic strains induced by nanoindentation. Spatially-resolved hardness was measured as a function of lateral distance from ‘random’ high-angle grain boundaries and twin boundaries. The confinement of induced defects between the indenter tip and grain boundaries did not lead to significant differences in measured hardness between high angle and twin boundaries. Critical “pop-in” loads indicating the onset of incipient plasticity were lower within 1μm of grain boundaries, but were statistically equivalent for random and twin boundaries. These results suggest a comparable extent of dislocation mobility and absorption at the different grain boundary types in Inconel 690 under ambient conditions.

Dislocation Interactions

Little evidence exists on the interaction of individual dislocations with recrystallized grain boundaries, primarily because of the severely overlapping contrast of the high dislocation density usually present during recrystallization. Interesting evidence of such interaction, Fig. 1, was discovered during examination of some old work on the hot deformation of Al-4.64 Cu. The specimen was deformed in a programmable thermomechanical instrument at 527 C and a strain rate of 25 cm/cm/s to a strain of 0.7. Static recrystallization occurred during a post anneal of 23 s also at 527 C. The figure shows evidence of dissociation of a subboundary at an intersection with a recrystallized high-angle grain boundary. At least one set of dislocations appears to be out of contrast in Fig. 1, and a grainboundary precipitate also is visible. Unfortunately, only subgrain sizes were of interest at the time the micrograph was recorded, and no attempt was made to analyze the dislocation structure.

Domains in GaAs can exist which are related to one another by the inversion symmetry, i.e., the sites of gallium and arsenic in one domain are interchanged in the other domain. The boundary between these two different domains is known as an antiphase boundary [1], In the terminology used to describe grain boundaries, the grains on either side of this boundary can be regarded as being Σ=1-related. For the {110} interface plane, in particular, there are equal numbers of GaGa and As-As anti-site bonds across the interface. The equilibrium distance between two atoms of the same kind crossing the boundary is expected to be different from the length of normal GaAs bonds in the bulk. Therefore, the relative position of each grain on either side of an APB may be translated such that the boundary can have a lower energy situation. This translation does not affect the perfect Σ=1 coincidence site relationship. Such a lattice translation is expected for all high-angle grain boundaries as a way of relaxation of the boundary structure.

This research addresses the EBSD analysis of friction stir welded 7136-T76 aluminum alloy. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the grain size and their shape, character of grain boundaries in the stirred and thermo-mechanically affected zones, both on the advancing and retreating side as well as to investigate changes in the crystallographic texture. Results of texture analysis indicate the complexity of the FSW process. The texture gradually weakens on moving from the thermo-mechanically affected zone toward the weld center. The stirred zone is characterized by very weak texture and is dominated by high angle boundaries. On the other hand, the thermo-mechanically affected zone exhibits a high frequency of low angle boundaries.

ABSTRACTThe results of our initial efforts at measuring the fracture strengths of grain boundaries In Ni3Al using a miniaturized disk-bend test are presented. The samples tested were 3 mm in diameter and between 150 and 300 μm thick. An Ingot of directlonally-solidlfled, boron-free Ni3Al containing 24% Al was annealed between 1300 and 1350 °C to induce grain growth, producing many grain boundaries In excess of 1.5 mm in length. Specimens were cut from these In such a way that one long grain boundary was located near a diameter of the specimen. The relative orientations of the grains on either side of the boundary were determined from electron channeling patterns. Low-angle boundaries are so strong they do not fracture; Instead the samples deform In a completely ductile manner. High-angle boundaries always fracture, but only after considerable plastic deformation of the two grains flanking them. Fracture is Indicated by a load drop in the load vs. displacement curves. A method involving extrapolation of the elastic portion of these curves to the displacement at fracture is used to estimate the fracture stresses. This procedure yields consistent values of the fracture strengths of high-angle boundaries. The measured stresses are large (∼2 to 3 GPa), but considerably smaller than those required for the fracture of special boundaries, as predicted by computer simulations. No correlation was found between the fracture stresses or loads and the geometry of the high-angle boundaries, many of which are close to, but deviate from, coincident site lattice orientations.

ABSTRACTA dynamical simulation of curved grain boundaries composed of pyramidal-shaped ledges has shown that the boundaries can move by local conservative shuffles of atoms or groups of atoms such that one adjoining crystal grows at the expense of the other. In the model system studied, the shuffles often take the form of correlated rotational displacements about the axis normal to the boundary. The simulations provide support for the atomic mechanism proposed by Babcock and Balluffi to explain their observation of grain boundary migration without the participation of SGBDs.

Abstract Stress-driven grain boundary (GB) migration in ultrafine-grained materials with nanotwinned structure is theoretically described. In the framework of the theoretical model, the stress-driven high-angle GB migration is accompanied by migration of twin boundaries which adjoin this GB. Energetic characteristics and critical stresses of the GB migration accompanied by the twin boundary migration are calculated.
