摘要
Fractures in body-centered-cubic metals and alloys below the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature are brittle. This is theoretically explained by the notion that the critical stress intensity factor of a given crack front for brittle fracture is smaller than that for plastic deformation; hence, brittle fracture is selected over plastic deformation. Although this view is true from a macroscopic perspective, such a fracture is always accompanied by small-scale plastic deformation near the crack tip, that is, crack tip plasticity. This paper investigates the origin of this plasticity using atomistic modeling with the machine learning interatomic potential of alpha-Fe. Some plastic modes are activated by rapid crack propagation, whereas no plasticity is activated when the crack tips are gradually fractured. The group of activated atoms dynamically caused by brittle crack propagation was identified as the precursor of plasticity.
