    Abstract Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the deformation of polysynthetically twinned (PST) TiAl at room temperature. The simulation cell is pre-strained and thermodynamically relaxed to zero stress, so that no dislocations pre-exist in γ−α2 interfaces. A uniaxial compression is then applied along one 1/6<112] direction. Our results show that interfacial dislocation pairs nucleate at the γ−α2 interface under the compression. The glide and agglomeration of these dislocations lead to the nucleation of deformation twins from the interface. Based on our studies, twins may nucleate without pre-existing interfacial dislocations. Further we have monitored the propagation of the More >
