ch 8 - deformation and strengthing Flashcards
fundamental mechanism of plastic deformation
The distortion and reformation of atomic bonds
plastic deformation corresponds to
the motion of large numbers of dislocations
How plastic deformation occurs in metals?
By slip (edge dislocation)
the process by which plastic deformation is produced by dislocation motion
slip
the plane on which the motion occurs
slip plane
the direction within that plane on which the motion occurs
slip direction
How many slip systems in FCC
12 identical slip systems
The amount of slip systems explains what phenomena?
the more slip systems explains ductile materials while less explains brittle material
What leads to resolved shear stress?
a tensile stress applied to a crystal will have tensile and shear components unless it is aligned parallel or perp to a slip system. (Incline plane)
What condition must be met for dislocation motion?
Tr>Tcrss
ordinarily ductility is sacrificed when an alloy is strengthened (T or F)
true
What defines a materials strength properities?
Restricting or Hindering dislocation motion
(T or F) Grain Boundaries are barriers to slip
True
How does grain size reduction increase strength?
Smaller grain sizes = more barriers to slip, Barrier strength increases with increasing angle of misorientation
(T or F) a fine grained material is harder and stronger than a coarse-grained material
True
Does grain size reduction improve toughness for many alloys?
Yes
