摘要
A theoretical model is suggested which describes grain boundary (GB) sliding and its accommodation through dislocation slip in ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline metals. The initial stage of the accommodating dislocation slip represents emission of lattice dislocations from triple junctions into grain interiors. The lattice dislocations emitted from a triple junction slip across a grain and are absorbed by an opposite GB where they are dissociated into GB dislocations that climb along the GB. In the situation where these GB sliding and accommodating processes are dominant, stress-strain dependences are calculated in ultrafine-grained copper. With the calculated dependences, we found that pronounced strain hardening occurs which is related to the accommodation processes and associated formation of disclinations at triple junctions of GBs. It is theoretically revealed that the special (new) strain hardening mechanism under discussion can play a significant role in enhancing ductility of ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline metals at comparatively low temperatures.
