Discussion Notes
Farzana Ansari Feb 14 & 16, 2012
From macroscale to nanoscale
Start small, work our way back up
• Crystal Structure• Defects– Dislocation motion & plastic deformation
• Strengthening Mechanisms– Using defects– Using crystal structure modification (heat
treatment)
Space Lattice
Unit Cell Cubic
Hexagonal
FCCBCC
HCP
Crystals can have various structures: FCC, BCC and HCP are common to metals
Coordination # = 8Atomic Packing Factor = 0.68
Atomic Packing Factor = 0.74
Coordination # = # of nearest toughing atoms for each atom in the structure = higher APF
Coordination # = 12Atomic Packing Factor = 0.74
Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP)
For a good visualization of the three crystals, check out this animation online:

Close-packed Planes & Miller Indices
Close-packed planes: BCC Primary Slip Plane: [110] = normal vector
Primary Slip Directions: <111>
Close-packed planes: FCCPrimary Slip Plane: [111] = normal vector
Primary Slip Directions: <110>
Close-packed planes: HCPPrimary Slip Plane: [001] = normal vector
Primary Slip Directions: <110>
Note: A four-axis coordinate system (“Miller-Bravais”) is often used for hexagonal symmetry to account for some crystallographic equivalent directions.
Bottom line: HCP has LESS slip systems than FCC & BCC (only 3)
Crystal Structure & Defects• Crystal structure and slip planes play a role in
how defects are understood with regard to both plastic deformation and strengthening mechanisms.
Point Linear PlanarImpurity Atoms (Interstitial or Substitution) Vacancies
Dislocations(“line defects”)
Grain Boundaries
Point Defects: Impurity Atoms
Play a role in strengthening mechanisms by inhibiting the movement of dislocations
Octahedral and tetrahedral sites
Linear Defects: Dislocations
Edge dislocations: Burges vector is perpendicular to dislocationScrew dislocation: Burges vector is parallel to dislocation
Planar Defect: Grain Boundaries
Strengthening• Macroscopic plastic deformation = motion of
large number of dislocations • Restrict dislocation motion and you can make
metal harder and stronger• How can you inhibit dislocation motion?
