Plastic deformation of body-centered cubic (bcc) metals is characterized by several specific aspects as for example a strong temperature dependence of the flow stress, a brittle-to-ductile transition and a significant tension/compression asymmetry which are not known from other metallic materials. Most of these specifics can be related to the behavior of screw dislocations in bcc metals [1] but this relation so far is mostly anecdotal and materials specific differences can often not be explained. We are therefore undertaking significant efforts of building a rigorous multiscale modeling framework to describe these properties quantitatively. This is based on an atomistic level understanding of dislocation core structures and energetics. These simulations reveal important details about the influence of non-Schmid (nonglide) stresses on the mobility of screw dislocations which can then be implemented to mesoscopic discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations [2].

I will report examples where DDD simulations help to understand elementary processes of dislocation interaction and show applications of DDD simulations to studies of plasticity in small-scale bcc single crystals. I will end with an outlook on the development of continuum models based on advanced 3D dislocation density measures with evolution equations that naturally track dislocation motion [1].
