Laser shock peening-induced misfit dislocation at interfaces between HCP and BCC crystals of Ti6Al4V alloy and the corresponding dislocation patterns in two phases
Understanding of laser shock peening (LSP)-generated microstructural characteristics at the interfaces between hexagonal close-packed (HCP) and body-centered cubic (BCC) crystals and dislocation patterns could provide useful insights into designing the interface between both phases of dual- or multi- phase metallic materials, which is a key information for higher properties. Herein, with a severe plastic deformation process of LSP, a systematic work of the mechanism behind misfit dislocations at different grain size has been carried out. It demonstrates that, as the grain gradually is refined, extrusion and torsion of the lattice are important contributions to the modified d-spacing and quantity of misfit dislocation. Hence, the growth orientation and the style of bicrystal interface between HCP and BCC crystals are affected. Furthermore, the size effect of the LSP-generated dislocation pattern has a significant attribution to the stress of misfit dislocation originating from neighboring interfaces.
