To the Question of Forming Geometrically Necessary Disclinations in Triple Junctions of Grain Boundaries in Metals

详细

The Bollman and King models are tested by means of molecular dynamics simulation for the formation of geometrically necessary disclinations in triple junctions of grain boundaries in metals. It is shown that the stresses arising in a triple junction due to the non-multiple lengths of low-angle tilt boundaries to the distance between grain boundary dislocations is not compensated for mainly by the formation of an additional disclination in the junction (the King model) but by the bending of one or several grain boundaries, accompanied by the displacement of grain boundary dislocations. A triple junction of the Bollman U-type (containing a geometrically necessary disclination) is not formed at the conjugation of tilt boundaries with common misorientation along the junction or at the conjugation of mixed-type boundaries.
