Abstract

The fine structure of dislocations in intermetallic compounds can have a profound influence on their macroscopic mechanical properties. The development of appropriate models of deformation requires consideration of dislocation core structure, possible dissociation or decomposition reactions, overall dislocation morphology and relevant dislocation interactions based on detailed transmission electron microscopy study. This empirical information may be rationalized based on both atomistic and continuum-level dislocation modeling. The specific cases of jogged 1/2<110] ordinary dislocations in γ-TiAl and a<101> superdislocations in NiAl are discussed.
