Effects of Carbon on Fracture Mechanisms in Nanocrystalline BCC Iron - Atomistic Simulations

Atomistic computer simulations were performed using embedded atom method interatomic potentials in α-Fe with impurities and defects. The effects of intergranular carbon on fracture toughness and the mechanisms of fracture were investigated. It was found that as the average grain size cha...
