Abstract

Using molecular dynamics simulation, a reverse martensitic transformation from hexagonal close-packed (hep) to face-centered cubic (fee) structure is observed in nanocrystalline (nc) cobalt and zirconium undergoing plastic deformation. In nc-cobalt hcp-to-fcc transformation is prevalent and deformation twinning is rarely observed. The transformation mechanism involves the motion of Shockley partial dislocation 1/3〈1100〉 in every other (0001) hcp /(111)fcc plane. From the simulation results, it is suggested that the interaction among partials should be considered to understand the deformation mechanisms of hep nc metals.
