Nanoindentation Simulation of Hardening Caused by Cr Precipitates in FeCr Alloy by WANG Shumin, HE Xinfu, CAO Jinli

“…By analyzing the dislocations, it is found that the dislocation length in Fe matrix containing Cr clusters decreases obviously, while the nucleation time of dislocations and the depth of indenter when dislocations nucleate slightly increase, indicating that the addition of Cr clusters slightly slows down the nucleation of dislocations and significantly hinders the expansion of dislocations in the matrix. …”
