Abstract

Atomistic simulations of dislocation motion in intermetallics have so far been limited to straight dislocations. In this work, this limitation is relaxed by developing a technique to construct and study dislocation kinks. Using the EAM method, the intermetallic compound, NiAl, is studied using OK simulations of single kinks on a mixed dislocation in the <001>{110} slip system. The threshold stress for the motion of the kink is calculated as 0.00125-0.00185μ, (∼160 Ħ230 MPa), which is fairly close to the CRSS measured at 77 K. These results, suggest that kink motion may be a contributory factor to the slip response of NiAl at low temperatures.
