Atomic-Scale Modeling of Cross Slip and Its Contribution to the Understanding of Texture and Fatigue in FCC Materials

Abstract

The procedures for the atomic-scale modeling of cross slip in copper are described, and the resulting activation energies and activation volumes for cross slip of non-jogged and jogged screw dislocations are recapitulated. The application of the results on the fcc rolling-texture transition and on fatigue in copper is demonstrated.
