In this model, both statistically stored dislocations （SSDs） and geometrically necessary dislocations （GNDs） are taken as the internal state variables. The strain gradient hardening in micro-bending of single-grained metal foils was predicted by evolution of GNDs. The predicted results were compared with the micro-hardness distribution of the previous micro-bending experiments of CuZn37 a-brass foils with coarse grains and fine grains. Comparison of the simulated dislocation densities distribution of SSDs and GNDs with the experimental results shows that different micro-hardness distribution patterns of the coarse and fine grain foils can be attributed to the corresponding SSDs and GNDs distributions. The present model provides a physical insight into the deformation mechanism and dislocation densities evolution of the micro-bending process.展开更多

The phase-field crystal method was employed to investigate the early evolution of the liquid pools in pre-melting regions, mainly involving four structural transformations: solid-solid state → small droplet → large liquid pool → homogeneous liquid melting. The microscopic morphology and free energy variation with different average atomic densities demonstrate that the average atomic density is sensitive to the morphological characteristics of liquid pools. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation results show that the amplitude reduction of order parameters can promote the order-disorder transition of grain boundaries, causing pre-melting in the edge dislocation aggregation. The relationship between the average atomic density and the width of the liquid pools is verified from thermodynamics, which provides a prerequisite for the application of high-temperature strain in the later stage to some extent.展开更多
