摘要: Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to investigate the microstructure and properties of low angle grain boundaries, employing the embedded atom method(EAM) type interatomic potential for Ni-Al alloy. The energies of the low angle grain boundaries with different dislocation densities were calculated, and the results indicate that the low angle grain boundary energy varies as a function of misorientation angle. The simulation was found in good agreement with the calculation on the basis of the dislocation theories in the low angle scale. The low angle grain boundary energy goes up with the increase of misorientation angle and tends to go down after reaching a maximum. An energy cusp exists when the misorientation angle increases further, but in this scale the dislocation theories are invalid for energy calculation due to the strong interaction of the dislocations at the boundaries. The simulation results also indicate that the microstructure of low angle grain boundaries can still be described as dislocations when the misorientation angle is larger than 10°.
