Local analysis on dislocation structure and hardening during grain boundary pop-ins in tungsten
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In the present work, dislocation structures at the grain boundary (GB) pop-in events were studied around and below the Berkovich indentations using electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) in polycrystalline tungsten. The GB pop-in events were identified as displacement bursts in the load–displacement curve, and the indentation experiments were stopped just after the occurrence of the displacement burst. A significant hardness increase was observed before the GB pop-in event. The careful ECCI analysis on the sequential polished cross sections clearly shows the dislocation pile-up in the vicinity of the GB along with transmitted dislocations in the adjacent grain. The transmitted dislocations were also found to be influenced by the indenter orientation with respect to the GB.
