Abstract

The evolution of the distribution of interstitial impurity atoms in the plastic zone around the tip of a tension crack is analyzed. The transport of point defects is determined by: 1) the hydrostatic component of the elastic stress at the crack tip, created by the superposition of the elastic fields of the crack and dislocations; 2) the elastic field of moving dislocations (“sweeping out” of interstitial impurity atoms); 3) the dislocation-driven transport of point defects present in the dislocation cores. The contributions of each mechanism of transport of point defects to the crack tip are calculated over the entire time from the start of loading of a sample containing a crack until an equilibrium distribution of plastic deformation is established after the cessation of loading. Numerical calculations are carried out for interstitial hydrogen atoms dissolved in an α-Fe crystal.
