In the moving TB model, the interaction of a moving {10ˉ12} TB with a static 1/311ˉ20{10ˉ10} screw dislocation was investigated. Twinning dislocation（TD） nucleation and movement play an important role in the interaction. The screw dislocation passes through the moving TB and changes to a basal one with a wide core. In the moving dislocation model, a moving 1/31120{1010} dislocation passes through the TB, converting into a basal one containing two partial dislocations and an extremely short stacking fault. If the TB changes to the {1011} one, the moving1/31120{1010} prismatic screw dislocation can be absorbed by the static TB and dissociated into two TDs on the TB. Along with the stress-strain relationship, results reveal the complicated mechanisms of interactions between the dislocation and TBs.展开更多

The annealed Fe-36Ni steel was rolled at cryogenic temperature（ 123-173 K） with 20%- 90% rolling reduction in thickness.The deformation process was accompanied by twinning at cryogenic temperature,and the mean thickness of deformation twins was about 200 nm with 20% rolling reduction. When the rolling reduction was above 40%,twinning was suppressed due to the stress concentration in the tested steel. Deformation microstructure of Fe-36Ni steel consisted of both twin boundaries and dislocations by cryogenic rolling（ CR）,while it only contained dislocations after rolling at room temperature（ RT）. The tensile strength of Fe-36Ni steel was improved to 930 MPa after 90% reduction at cryogenic temperature,while the tensile strength after 90% reduction at RT was only 760 MPa. More dislocations could be produced as the nucleation sites of recrystallization during CR process.展开更多
