Abstract

Ni3Al single crystals are known to exhibit a flow stress anomaly between 200 and 800K. The purpose of our work is to examine such an anomaly by means of a simulation of the dislocation dynamics at a mesoscopic scale. The simulation basic rules are: i) the dislocation glide in {111} octahedral planes, ii) the conditions at which screw lines are locked and unlocked by the formation of Kear-Wilsdorf locks, iii) the mobility of jogs in the {100} cube plane. Our results suggest that two different temperature regimes occur in the domain of the anomaly. At low temperatures, the plastic flow is governed by kink bow-out, itself a function of the kink length. At high temperatures, the plastic flow is governed by the unlocking of the weakest Kear-Wilsdorf locks in the microstructure. These outcomes of the simulation are discussed in relation with the existing theoretical models of the flow stress anomaly.
