Abstract

Dislocations in low-angle tilt boundaries exhibit a wide variety of Burgers vector including a/2<112> a<001> and a<111>. The dislocations are usually dissociated: Shohkley, stair-rod and Frank partial dislocations may each be formed together with associated intrinsic and extrinsic stackingfaults. Dislocations in low-angle {111} twist boundaries are usually assumed to dissociated by a glide mechanism to give two types of extended nodes, known as P–type and K–type, which contain intrinsic and extrinsic stacking-faults respectively. It is shown that dissociation by climb actually occurs for both types of grain boundary.
