Strengthening by needle-shaped precipitates is critical in Al–Mg–Si alloys. Here, the strengthening is studied computationally at the peak-aged condition where precipitate shearing and Orowan looping are usually considered to have equal strengths. Pseudo-r ...
Many metal alloys are strengthened by controlling precipitation to achieve an optimal peak-aged condi-tion where the strength-limiting processes of precipitate shearing and Orowan looping are thought to be comparable. Qualitative models have long captured ...
Precipitation strengthening is one of the key strengthening strategies in many industrial alloys like aluminum alloys, nickel-based superalloys, etc. The yield strength of alloy is improved by forming precipitates in materials and employing them as obstacl ...
The total energy of an atomistic dislocation includes contributions from the inelastic/large-distortion 'core' region. Capturing this inelastic 'core' energy is important, especially for dislocations with a curvature in the 10–100 nm scale. Current impleme ...
