Abstract

Atomistic simulations are performed on a series of grain boundary structures in aluminum. The grain boundary sliding (GBS) of symmetric tilt grain boundaries is always coupled with apparent migration when grain boundary is subjected to an applied shear stress. The propensity for `pure' GBS without migration in aluminum is evaluated by computing the energy associated with incremental equilibrium configurations during the sliding process, and comparing with energy barriers for sliding with migration. In both cases, the magnitude of the energy barriers are found to be lower than that of the energy for two free surfaces suggesting that the GBS and migration are more favorable than the formation of grain boundary cleavage under shear loading conditions.
