Abstract

The yield behavior of crystalline solids is determined by the motion of defects like dislocations, twin boundaries and coherent phase boundaries. These solids are hardened by introducing precipitates—small particles of a second phase. It is generally observed that the motion of line defects like dislocations are strongly inhibited or pinned by precipitates while the motion of surface defects like twin and phase boundaries are minimally affected. In this article, we provide insight into why line defects are more susceptible to the effect of precipitates than surface defects. Based on mathematical models that describe both types of motion, we show that for small concentrations of a nearly periodic arrangement of precipitates, the critical force that is required for a surface defect to overcome a precipitate is smaller than that required for a line defect. In particular, the critical forces for surface and line defects scale with the radius of precipitates to the second and first power, respectively.
