Abstract
This paper describes a computer simulation study of the interaction between lattice dislocations and tilt grain boundaries. The calculations were carried out using a many-body potential for copper and potentials describing a stable Ll₂ type of structure. Two interaction mechanisms were observed : absorption into the boundary by splitting into DSC dislocations and splitting into lattice Shockley partial dislocations, one of which was incorporated in the boundary. If the associated step height for the DSC's is small and (one of) the DSC's can glide in the boundary plane, the lattice dislocation dissociates into DSC dislocations in the boundary. Otherwise, another reaction is favourable, like the incorporation of one lattice partial dislocation in the boundary.
