Dislocations & Materials Classes

• Covalent Ceramics (Si, diamond): Motion difficult - directional (angular) bonding

• Ionic Ceramics (NaCl): Motion difficult - need to avoid nearest neighbors of like sign (- and +)

Dislocation Motion

Dislocation motion & plastic deformation• Metals - plastic deformation occurs by slip – an edge

dislocation (extra half-plane of atoms) slides over adjacent plane half-planes of atoms.

• If dislocations can't move, plastic deformation doesn't occur!

Dislocation Motion

• A dislocation moves along a slip plane in a slip direction perpendicular to the dislocation line

• The slip direction is the same as the Burgers vector direction

Slip System– Slip plane - plane on which easiest slippage occurs

• Highest planar densities (and large interplanar spacings)

– Slip directions - directions of movement • Highest linear densities

Deformation Mechanisms

Adapted from Fig. 8.6, Callister & Rethwisch 3e.

– FCC Slip occurs on {111} planes (close-packed) in <110> directions (close-packed)

=> total of 12 slip systems in FCC– For BCC & HCP there are other slip systems.

• Stronger - grain boundaries pin deformations

• Slip planes & directions (, ) change from one crystal to another.

• R will vary from one crystal to another.

• The crystal with the largest R yields first.

• Other (less favorably oriented) crystals yield later.

Recrystallization Temperature, TR

TR = recrystallization temperature = point of highest rate of property change1. Tm => TR 0.3-0.6 Tm (K)

2. Due to diffusion annealing time TR = f(time) shorter annealing time => higher TR

3. Higher %CW => lower TR – strain hardening

4. Pure metals lower TR due to dislocation movements

• Easier to move in pure metals => lower TR

Coldwork Calculations

A cylindrical rod of brass originally 0.40 in (10.2 mm) in diameter is to be cold worked by drawing. The circular cross section will be maintained during deformation. A cold-worked tensile strength in excess of 55,000 psi (380 MPa) and a ductility of at least 15 %EL are desired. Further more, the final diameter must be 0.30 in (7.6 mm). Explain how this may be accomplished.

Predeformation by Drawing

• Drawing…(ex: monofilament fishline) -- stretches the polymer prior to use -- aligns chains in the stretching direction• Results of drawing: -- increases the elastic modulus (E) in the stretching direction -- increases the tensile strength (TS) in the stretching direction -- decreases ductility (%EL)• Annealing after drawing... -- decreases chain alignment -- reverses effects of drawing (reduces E and TS, enhances %EL)• Contrast to effects of cold working in metals!

Page 48: Chapter 8 - 1 ISSUES TO ADDRESS... Why are the number of dislocations present greatest in metals ? How are strength and dislocation motion related? Why.

Chapter 8 - 48

• Dislocations are observed primarily in metals and alloys.• Strength is increased by making dislocation motion difficult.

• Particular ways to increase strength are to: -- decrease grain size -- solid solution strengthening -- precipitate strengthening -- cold work

• Heating (annealing) can reduce dislocation density and increase grain size. This decreases the strength.
