| Abstract Scope |
Current strategies to understand Schmid and non-Schmid effects (twinning, anti-twinning) in BCC metals have predominantly focused on single crystal systems. This leaves the role of grain boundary misorientation, present in polycrystalline systems, underdeveloped. This study employs virtual texture (VirTex) analysis of MD-generated microstructures to explore the role of grain boundary tilt misorientation, using bicrystal systems, on twinnability. VirTex, by allowing the explicit tracking of twins, shows that at misorientations approaching 60° and 120° twinning is suppressed, while at lower and higher misorientations it is not. Anti-twinning is suppressed for all misorientations. This presentation will outline our approach for understanding the influence of grain boundary tilt misorientation, in relation to loading orientation, and loading conditions on twinnability in BCC metals. |
