Cross-slip of twinning dislocations on crossing domain boundaries in ordered Ni3V

Abstract
Zigzag propagation of deformation microtwins across the domain structure, as observed by electron microscopy in ordered Ni3V alloy, is shown to be due to cross-slip of partial dislocations via the stair-rod mode (Fleischer 1959). Twin bands change direction to preserve the long-range order inside domains. The peculiarities of the interaction of twinning dislocations with domain boundaries are studied, and an activation energy for such a cross-slip mechanism is evaluated. It is shown that local stress concentration at the microtwin tip makes cross-slip easier.
