Strain-Rate- and Line-Length-Dependent Screw Dislocation Glide Mechanisms in BCC Refractory Metals and Alloys

Subhendu Chakraborty, Liang Qi

Plastic flow in body-centered cubic (BCC) metals and dilute/concentrated alloys is governed by the motion of <111> screw dislocations, whose glide is often impeded by cross-kinks (…
