Interaction between a Mg17Al12 precipitate and \(\{ 10\bar 12\} < 10\bar 12 >\) twin boundary in magnesium alloys

Abstract

Interactions between Mg17Al12 precipitates and \(\{ 10\bar 12\} < 10\bar 1\bar 1 >\) twin boundaries (TBs) in magnesium were studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The results obtained agree well with experimental observations in which precipitates can be entirely engulfed by \(\{ 10\bar 12\} < 10\bar 1\bar 1 >\) twins without being sheared. Structural analysis of the TBs in the atomic scale shows that the TBs are extremely incoherent during twin growth and highly deviate from the \(\{ 10\bar 12\}\) twinning plane as previously observed in a number of experiments. The simulation studies indicate that \(\{ 10\bar 12\} < 10\bar 1\bar 1 >\) twinning was accomplished solely by atomic shuffling that converts the parent lattice to the twin lattice without involving twinning dislocations, resulting in zero shear strain at the TBs.
