摘要

Many of our previous studies have discussed the shock response of symmetrical grain boundaries in iron bicrystals.In this paper,the molecular dynamics simulation of an iron bicrystal containing ∑3 [110] asymmetry tilt grain boundary (ATGB) under shock-loading is performed.We find that the shock response of asymmetric grain boundaries is quite different from that of symmetric grain boundaries.Especially,our simulation proves that shock can induce migration of asymmetric grain boundary in iron.We also find that the shape and local structure of grain boundary (GB) would not be changed during shock-induced migration of ∑3 [110] ATGB,while the phase transformation near the GB could affect migration of GB.The most important discovery is that the shock-induced shear stress difference between two sides of GB is the key factor leading to GB migration.Our simulation involves a variety of piston velocities,and the migration of GB seems to be less sensitive to the piston velocity.Finally,the kinetics of GB migration at lattice level is discussed.Our work firstly reports the simulation of shock-induced grain boundary migration in iron.It is of great significance to the theory of GB migration and material engineering.
