A material in which the atoms are situated in a repeating or
periodic array over large atomic distances
* Upon solidification, the atoms will position themselves in a
repetitive three-dimensional pattern
* Each atom is bonded to its nearest neighbour atoms
* All metals, many ceramics and certain polymers form crystalline
structures

A

Three common types for metal
– Body Centred Cubic
– Face Centred Cubic
– Hexagonal Close Packed

33
Q

Is lattice structure seen in metals?

A

Lattice structure typically not seen in metallic materials
due to inefficient packing sequence… Polonium is only example

34
Q

Face Centered Cubic (FCC)

A

atom at each corner + single atom in each cube face
Metals include aluminium, copper, gold, lead, nickel and silver
* Readily undergo plastic deformation
* Configuration allows atoms to slip past each other easily

35

* Closed Packed but with much fewer slip planes
* Normally brittle / low ductility

40
Q

Anisotropy

A

Anisotropy — Property value depends on
crystallographic direction of measurement
If grains textured (e.g.,
deformed grains have
preferential crystallographic
orientation):
properties anisotropic.

41
Q

Isotropy

A

properties homogenous
if grains randomly oriented:
properties isotropic

42
Q

Lattice Parameters

A

The unit cell geometry is completely defined in terms of six
parameters: the three edge lengths a, b, and c, and the three
interaxial angles α, β, and γ

43
Q

Three point indices , lattice coordinate position

A

Coordinate specifications are possible using three point
indices: q, r, and s
* These indices are fractional multiples of a, b, and c unit cell lengths
– q is some fractional length of a along the x axis,
– r is some fractional length of b along the y axis,
– s is some fractional length of c along the z axis
example

44
Q

Crystallographic Directions

A

A crystallographic direction is defined as a line directed between
two points, or a vector
– x, y, z coordinate system in unit cell corner
– determine coordinates of two points on the direction vector (xi , y i , zi )
– determine length by subtracting coordinates (head – tail)
– normalize by dividing by their respective lattice parameters

  • Convert to smallest integer
  • They are expressed in square brackets [u v w]
45
Q

Slip

A

sliding displacement along a plane

46
Q

Slip System

A

= slip plane and slip direction
Slip occurs on densely or close-packed planes, in close-packed directions
– Lower shear stress/energy is required for slip to occur in close-packed
planes and in close-packed directions

47
Q

Which is more packed, FCC or BCC?

A

No truly close packed planes like FCC so BCC less packed
BCC ductile, but typically less so than FCC

48
Q

HCP are the planes close packed and what are the slip systems like?

A

Closed-packed but with much fewer slip systems (typically
3 or 6)
– HCP metals tend to be quite brittle, with low ductility

49
Q

Schmid’s Law

A

Show that the Resolved Shear Stress (RSS)
(t R) on a slip plane in the slip direction is
given by,
t R = σ cosλ cosf (Schmid’s Law)

50
Q

Critical RSS

A

Slip will occur
The shear stress for initiating slip in different materials
– This is a material property
– Slip will happen on the plane with highest RSS (
tR )
* For a single crystal – the engineering stress (
σ) required to cause slip depends on angle of slip plane to loading
* Engineering yield stress may therefore vary for a single crystal depending on the loading direction

51
Q

Slip Stress for Polycrystalline Materials

A

Each crystal oriented differently to nominal loading
– Slip directions/planes are therefore randomly
oriented

    neighbouring atoms or lattice points
57
Q

Interstitial atom (Point Defect)

A

Interstitial atom
– A point defect where a smaller atom fits in
between other atoms in the crystal lattice
– Can be an Impurity or intentional alloying
element
– Induce minor stress-field on the lattice

58
Q

Substitutional atom
– A point defect where an impurity atom
substitutes for a host atom
– Induce stress-field on the lattice

dissolved within another to enhance
mechanical properties

60

A

A location in a crystal lattice where an
atom is missing
Induce stress-field on the lattice

61
Q

Line Defects- name the three types of dislocation

A

Edge dislocation – Line defect where
an extra half-plane of atoms exists in
crystal lattice
– Screw Dislocation – Line defect, where
path spirals around a dislocation line
penetrating otherwise parallel planes
– Mixed Dislocations – Edge + Screw defects

62
Q

A

Edge dislocation – Line defect where
an extra half-plane of atoms exists in
crystal lattice

63
Q

Screw dislocation

A

– Screw Dislocation – Line defect, where
path spirals around a dislocation line
penetrating otherwise parallel planes
Screw dislocations occur when the
lattice itself is sheared such that there is
a misalignment of the atoms
* Dislocation line is the edge, or where
this misalignment begins

64
Q

Mixed dislocation

A

– Mixed Dislocations – Edge + Screw defects

65
Q

Dislocation - line defects

A

linear defect around which some of the atoms are misaligned
dislocation density influences strength and increases with applied stress

66
Q

Line defects - Burgers vector

A

Magnitude of dislocation given by
the Burgers Vector, b
– Draw loop around defect
– Repeat the loop steps in a perfect
crystal
– b is the vector required to close the
loop
* b is always perpendicular to
dislocation line for edge
dislocations
– Magnitude of lattice distortion

67
Q

Dislocation Density

A

Dislocation Density = Total dislocation line length per unit volume

– Highly deformed metal – cold worked (rolling, drawing etc.):
– Means there has been significant amount of plastic deformation

68
Q

Why are dislocations highest in metals??

A

The number of dislocations is highest
in metals
* Atoms easily move to another
position with dislocation movement
* Motion of dislocations is easiest
because metals have non-directional
bonding and close-packed directions
* Covalent – directional, angular
bonding – need to break bond
* Ionic – charged ions don’t want to
change position

69
Q

Grain Boundaries

A

Grain Boundaries are planar defects  a 2D
interface between adjacent grains (single
crystals) in a polycrystalline material
* Most common type of “planar” defect
* Characteristics can strengthen or weaken a
material
* Grains randomly oriented
* Each grain has it’s defined crystal structure, i.e.
FCC, etc
