The interaction of 1/2<1 1 0> screw dislocations with symmetric [1 1 0] tilt boundaries was investigated by atomistic simulations using many-body potentials representing ordered compounds. The calculations were performed with and without an applied shear stress. The observations were: absorption into the grain boundary, attraction of a lattice Shockley partial dislocation towards the grain boundary and transmission through the grain boundary under the influence of a shear stress. It was found that the interaction in ordered compounds shows similarities to the interaction in fcc.
