Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of basic materials science and relates to a method for predicting twin transfer probability dominated by a single twin system. Background Technology
[0002] Twin deformation, as a key mechanism for plastic coordination in metallic materials, directly affects the synergy of dislocation movement at grain boundaries and the regulation of crack propagation paths. When dislocation slip accumulates at grain boundaries, stress concentration occurs. Activating twin deformation can absorb grain boundary dislocations on the one hand, and reconstruct the local stress state on the other hand to trigger slip of adjacent grains, ultimately achieving the goal of delaying macroscopic damage.
[0003] Under specific crystallographic conditions (such as low temperature, high strain rate, or strong texture), polycrystalline materials of the same crystal system may preferentially activate specific twin systems. For example, in room temperature compressive deformation under loading along the basal plane normal, {10-12} tensile twinning is often the dominant mechanism for plastic deformation in close-packed hexagonal metals. This selective activation only requires focusing on the spatial orientation of a single twin system, avoiding interference from other twin systems, to determine the twinning transfer capability across grain boundaries, thus improving computational efficiency.
[0004] Existing twin activation models mostly rely on the projection relationship between the twin plane normal and the twinning direction (such as the geometric compatibility factor). However, these methods do not consider the inherent constraints of crystal symmetry on the matching degree of the twin system, making it difficult to quantify the impact of the twin orientation deviation between the two grains on the activation probability. Therefore, constructing an activation prediction model based on a specific single twin orientation relationship is of great significance for resolving the deformation coordination mechanism at grain boundaries and optimizing the material strengthening and toughening design, while reducing computational complexity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical issues, a twin transmission probability prediction method dominated by a single twin system is proposed, the specific scheme of which is as follows:
[0006] A method for predicting twin transmission probability dominated by a single twin lineage includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Obtain the crystal orientation information of the first and second grains and determine their crystal system;
[0008] Step 2: Determine the rotational symmetry operation matrix group of the crystal system, and obtain all variants and their quantities based on the determined single twin system;
[0009] Step 3: Construct a set of transformation matrices from crystal orientation to twin orientation, the number of which is the same as the number of twin variants;
[0010] Step 4: Based on the twin system spatial orientation relationship, calculate the minimum rotation angle required for the grain to rotate to form a specific parallel twin system with a second grain of the same crystal system;
[0011] The specific parallel twin system refers to the twin planes of two grains and the twinning directions on those planes being parallel, and the twin system is defined by a pre-determined single twin system;
[0012] The rotation angle is calculated using the rotation matrix of the grain, and the minimum value among all combinations is taken.
[0013] The minimum value obtained by calculation is defined as the twin orientation difference of a single twin system. The smaller the twin orientation difference, the greater the twin transmission probability.
[0014] The preferred embodiment of the single-twin-dominated twin transmission probability prediction method includes the following steps in its specific calculation process:
[0015] Step 1. Determine the two-dimensional crystal orientation matrices B1 and B2 of the two grains b1 and b2, with a shape of 3×3;
[0016] Determine the rotational symmetry operation matrix group of the crystal system to which the two grains belong, and superimpose the two-dimensional matrices in this group to form a three-dimensional matrix R. s , where s is the number of rotational symmetric operation matrices;
[0017] Determine the transformation matrix group from matrices b1 and b2 to known single twin orientations, with each twin variant corresponding to a transformation matrix. Superimpose all two-dimensional transformation matrices to form a three-dimensional matrix U. i , where i is the number of all twin variants in the twinning lineage;
[0018] In the formula, all variables with subscripts represent three-dimensional matrices, which are the result of superimposing two-dimensional matrices, similar to the superposition of RGB three-color layers in an image. Therefore, R s and U i The shapes are 3×3×s and 3×3×i, respectively;
[0019] Subscripts are used to refer to a three-dimensional matrix, and the subscript value is the number of stacked two-dimensional matrices in the third dimension. At the same time, operations on the three-dimensional matrix are performed sequentially on each stacked two-dimensional matrix.
[0020] Step 2. According to the definition of a parallel twin, we get:
[0021]
[0022] In the formula, D dIt is the rotation matrix of all orientations that can produce a parallel twin system when grain b1 is rotated to the position of grain b2, and the parallel twin system is determined by the given twin system. In addition, d = s×i×s×i.
[0023] Step 3. Rotation matrix D d Represented as:
[0024]
[0025] In the formula, U i and(U i ) -1 All are three-dimensional matrices. During the operation, the operation is performed on each two-dimensional matrix in the three-dimensional matrix in turn. Generally, U i and(U i ) -1 The two obtained two-dimensional matrices are not inverses of each other, so U cannot be used. i (U i ) -1 It can be directly simplified to the identity matrix E;
[0026] Step 4. Rotate by angle θ d The following relationship must be satisfied:
[0027]
[0028] In the formula, tr(D) d ) refers to D d Find the trace of each two-dimensional matrix stacked in the middle, and θ d The minimum value in the stacked matrix is the twin orientation difference of a single twin system.
[0029] The preferred embodiment of the single twin-system-dominated twin transmission probability prediction method is that when the twin orientation difference is less than a threshold, it is determined that twin transmission is likely to occur; the threshold is set according to the material and deformation conditions, and is generally 12°.
[0030] Beneficial effects:
[0031] This method achieves crystallographic-driven prediction of twin propagation probability by constructing a quantitative index of the orientation matching degree between two specific twin systems of grains. Compared with traditional models that rely solely on the twin plane normal and twin direction projection, this method has significant advantages in the following aspects: First, by introducing the simplified characteristics of the matching relationship between the twin plane and twin direction through crystal symmetry, the rotation angle is used as a quantitative characterization of the twin system matching degree, making the calculation of activation probability more consistent with crystallographic principles; second, by limiting the calculation range of specific twin systems, the computational complexity of polycrystalline systems is effectively reduced, improving the prediction efficiency of deformation compatibility behavior at grain boundaries. This model is compatible with typical twin systems of various crystal systems, providing a computable theoretical tool for analyzing strain compatibility mechanisms at grain boundaries and optimizing the strength and toughness design of materials.
