Dynamic mechanisms of strengthening and softening of coherent twin boundary via dislocation pile-up and cross-slip
lthough cross-slip strongly affects the deformation of polycrystalline materials
the phenomenon is rarely studied in twinned face centered cubic (FCC) metals. Here we performed in-situ TEM nanoindentation on a twinned nickel bi-crystal. Multiple pile-ups were generated
with the first dislocations pinned at a coherent twin boundary (CTB) and multiple following dislocations cross-slipping within the matrix. Stress calculation revealed that the cross-slip events are made possible by the CTB
the first dislocations
and the favorable shear stress created jointly by external stress and dislocation interaction. These cross-slip events reduce tip stress and soften the material until inter-grain plasticity is eventually activated.
IMPACT STATEMENT
In-situ TEM nanoindentation reveals the characteristics of dislocation pinning
pile-ups and cross-slip along the twinning boundary in a twinned FCC metal for the first time.
