Chapter 8 Flashcards
slip
plastic deformation by motion of dislocations
caterpillar locomotion
hump formed and propelled by lifting and shifting of leg pairs
dislocation motion
movement of extra half-plane of atoms by breaking and reforming of interatomic bonds
edge dislocation
in direction of applied shear stress
screw dislocation
perpendicular to direction of applied shear stress
Metal Dislocation Characteristics (3)
- Relatively easy dislocation motion
- Non-directional metallic bonding
- Close-packed planes and directions for slip
Covalently Bonded Ceramics Dislocation Characteristics (2)
- Relatively difficult dislocation motion
- Directional covalent bonding
Ionically Bonded Ceramics Dislocation Characteristics (2)
- Relatively difficult dislocation motion
- Few slip systems
slip system
combination of slip plane and slip direction
slip plane
plane with high planar density on which slip occurs most easily
slip direction
direction with high linear density on which slip occurs most easily
When does slip occur?
when resolved shear stress is greater than critical resolved shear stress
