Density Functional Theory Study of Kink with P in BCC Iron

Abstract

The optimal geometries and mechanical properties of a kink with P are studied by applying density functional theory to the ½[111](1¯10) edge dislocation in bcc iron. The calculated impurity segregation energy shows that the P atom can be potentially trapped by the kink, and the doping P preferably segregates to the core region of the ½[111](1¯10) edge dislocation rather than to the <100>(010) edge dislocation. The analysis of the electronic structure indicates that the sideward motion of the kink is impeded owing to strong a interaction between P and neighboring Fe atoms. That is, the P induces a pinning effect on the ½[111](1¯10) edge dislocation. The hybridizations between P and Fe come from P 3p and Fe 3d4s4p. The p and d states have an obvious orientation, which may not be favorable to the toughness of iron. The localized effect of the P-kink complex distinctly affects the electronic structure as well as the energy of the system.

Microlayer and nanolayer tubing and piping via layer multiplication coextrusion. II. Rheologically mismatched systems

“…The concept of multilayered annular structures has been around since the mid‐1800s, with the first versions being rubber lined hose constructions for applications such as fire hose . Since the inception of technologies capable to produce such structures, tubing, and piping markets have become wide spread in automotive, hydraulic, fluid transport, and healthcare markets, changing many aspects of daily life. While the products have prospered, substantial interest has risen in the rheological characteristics during processing, particularly because of its challenging nature and impact on technological capabilities.…”
