20
Q

List the point defects

A

Vacancy atoms, interstitial atoms, substitutional atoms

21
Q

What is vacancy atoms?

A

Atoms is missing in the lattice, causes distortion of planes

22
Q

What is interstitial atoms?

A

Extra atom in the lattice, causes distortion of planes

23
Q

What is substitutional atom?

A

Atoms in place of other atoms

24
Q

List the line defects

A

Dislocations

25
Q

What are dislocations?

A

Breaking of chemical bonds, changing the place of atoms, causes permanent plastic deformation

26
Q

What are area defects

A

Grain boundaries
