Abstract
The effects of solute random distribution (RSS) before relaxation and solute short-range ordering (SRO) after relaxation on the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline Cu–Ag alloys were analyzed by molecular dynamics simulation. It has been found that the mechanical properties of Cu–Ag alloy mechanics with SRO were better than those of Cu–Ag alloy mechanics with RSS. Specifically, during the whole tensile process, compared with sample #1 with SRO structure, sample #2 with RSS structure has stronger strain–stress response ability, more obvious phase transformation process, and narrower shear strain zone on the grain boundary. Furthermore, when the number of Voronoi seeds is examined concerning the mechanical properties of the nanocrystalline Cu–Ag alloy, it becomes apparent that the average flow stress drops as the quantity of Voronoi seeds increases.
