contents The yield stress anomaly of L12 intermetallics such as Ni3Al or Ni3Ga is controlled by the so-called Kear-Wilsdorf lock (KWL), of which the formation and unlocking are governed by dislocation cross-slip. Despite the importance of L12 intermetallics for strengthening Ni-based superalloys, microscopic understanding of the KWL is limited. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are conducted by employing a dedicated machine-learning interatomic potential derived via physically-informed active-learning. The potential facilitates modelling of the dislocation behavior in Ni3Al with near ab initio accuracy. KWL formation and unlocking are observed and analyzed. The unlocking stress demonstrates a pronounced temperature dependence, contradicting the assumptions of existing analytical models. A phenomenological model is proposed to effectively describe the atomistic unlocking stresses and extrapolate them to the macroscopic scale. The model is general and applicable to other L12 intermetallics. The acquired knowledge of KWLs provides a deeper understanding on the origin of the yield stress anomaly.
