Abstract
The interaction energy is approximated between an edge dislocation and a particle deformable by power law creep in an elastic matrix. The stress required to overcome the interaction energy barrier is found to be greater than the Orowan stress, and the dislocation bulges to escape the particle. If the ratio of the shear modulus of the matrix to the viscosity of the particle ( μt m / σ 0) is large, the stress required to climb over the particle is larger than the Orowan stress and the dilocation bulges before it climbs. It is concluded that even if the particle is soft enough to exhibit creep, the strengthening of alloys can be achieved by an Orowan mechanism. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of Cu-B 2O 3, obtained experimentally by Onaka et al. [11], agrees closely with that obtained in our analysis. This supports our analysis that the strength of Cu-B 2O 3 alloy at high temperature may be accounted for by the Orowan mechanism and the attraction between a dislocation and viscous particles. The energy and the force to overcome the energy barrier increases significantly with decrease of m, the strain rate exponent associated with the power law creep particle. It is found through analysis that for m < 1.0 and for certain values of μt m / σ 0 > 1, the particle repulses the dislocation, while for m = 1.0 and for all values of μt m / σ 0 > 1, the particle attracts the dislocation, which is the expected interaction between an elastic particle and a dislocation in an elastic matrix.
