Abstract Scope |
Dislocations in multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) repeatedly encounter pinning during glide, leading to jerky dislocation motion. However, the origin of individual pinning points in these concentrated random alloys is a matter of debate. We investigate the origin of dislocation pinning in the prototypical Cantor (CoCrFeMnNi) MPEA and its subsystem using a combination of experiment and simulation. In-situ transmission electron microscopy studies reveal a jagged glide motion under external loading, even in the absence of elemental clustering. Our large-scale atomistic simulations reproduce the jerky dislocation motion and allow for a determination of an atomistic descriptor linking dislocation pinning sites to a local Peierls barrier. Repeated pinning of the dislocation line can be linked to local fluctuations in the atomic scale Peierls friction. We demonstrate that the spatial density of high local Peierls barriers is proportional to the critical stress required to initiate dislocation glide and inversely linked to the dislocation mobility. |
