You can this way:

Why the strength of metals is


much lower than the value
predicted from the metallic bond?
For example, the theoretical shear
strength is well over 1000MPa actual
shear strength of Cu is at least an
Order of magnitude less than this.
Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms

Slip and Slip Plane

The process by which a dislocation moves and causes a material to deform is called slip.
The crystallographic plane along which the dislocation line traverses is the slip plane.

Shear stress
Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms

Slip Direction

The direction in which the dislocation moves is called slip direction.


For edge dislocations, it is the direction of Burgers vector.
Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms
The motion of an edge dislocation:

The dislocation line motion


is parallel to the direction of
the applied shear stress.

The motion of a screw dislocation:

The dislocation line motion


is perpendicular to the
stress direction
Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms
Slip System
The combination of slip direction and slip plane is the slip system.
Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms
Dislocation slip is more difficult along a low-atomic-density
plane than along a high-atomic-density plan.

An FCC unit cell and its slip system

Slip occurs along <110> type directions


{111} type planes (4 planes) have
(A-B,A-C,D-E) within the {111} planes.
all atoms closely packed.

FCC has 12 slip systems - 4 {111} planes and each has 3 <110> directions
Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms

* Generally, the metals having larger number of slip systems are more ductile than the
one has smaller number of slip system. Thus, FCC & BCC metals are generally ductile
and HCP is brittle.

Slip in Single Crystals
Resolved shear stress (R) and critical resolved shear stress (crss )

R is the resolved shear stress is given by:

FR = F cos and AR = A/cos

R = FR / AR = cos cos

crss represents the minimum shear stress


required to initiate slip and is a materials
property, which determines when yielding
occurs.
crss
FR y =
AR
(cos cos )max

at = = 45, we have: y = 2 crss


It is the minimum stress necessary to cause yielding.

Plastic deformation of polycrystalline materials

Slip lines in deformed Before deformation- After deformation-


grains the grains are equiaxed. the grains are elongated.
Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms
Deformation by twinning -
In addition to slip plastic
deformation in some metallic
materials can occur by the
formation of mechanical twins,
or twinning.

Deformation by twinning

Deformation by Slip

Crystallographic orientation above and below a slip is the same before and after the
deformation. But, for twinning, there will be a reorientation across the twin plan, which
may place new slip systems for slip to occur.

Strengthening by grain size reduction

(1) A dislocation passing into a grain having different


orientation will have to change its direction of motion;
thus grain boundary becomes a barrier.

(2) The disorder in a grain boundary will result in a


discontinuity of slip planes from one grain into the
other. y = 0 + kyd -1/2
(3) Reducing grain size or increasing grain boundary is
Where: 0 and ky are constants

Anisotropic behavior induced by cold work


Dislocations and Strengthening Mechanisms
Annealing is a heat treatment designed to eliminate the effects of cold working.
The properties of a metal may revert back to the precold-worked states by
Annealing, through recovery, recrystallization and grain growth.
Recovery: the relief of some of the internal strain energy of a previously cold-worked material.
Recrystallization: the formation of a new set of strain-free grains within a previously cold-worked
material.
Grain Growth: the increase in average grain size of a polycrystalline material.
An elevated temperature heat treatment (annealing) is needed for these 3-processes.

Recrystallization proceeds more rapid in pure metals that in alloys.


For pure metals, the recrystallization temperature is about 0.3Tm (Tm is absolute melting temp.)
For some alloys, the recrystallization temperature can be as high as 0.7Tm.
