Abstract

The interaction between an moving edge dislocation and helium bubble was studied in BCC-Fe using Molecular dynamics(MD)simulation. Edge dislocation passed the bubble via cut mechanism. A step with a length of b is left on both sides of the bubble after dislocation left away. The influence of simulation temperature, defect size and He/V ratio in bubble on critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for dislocation to shear bubble were investigated. The CRSS increases with increasing defect sizes, and decreases with increasing temperature. When He/V ratio is at the range of 0-1, CRSS depends weakly on the He/V ratio. The estimated obstacle strength of helium bubble based on MD simulations is acceptable and reasonable agreement with one deduced from the dispersion barrier-hardening model applied to experimental results.
