ObjectiveObjective

• The objective of this module is to present some of the dislocations observed in FCC, HCP and BCC crystal structures.

• This section is intentionally brief. More details can be found by consulting the reading list.

• We will not address ceramics or intermetallics here. They will be addressed separately.

Plastic Flow in GeneralPlastic Flow in General

• Slip occurs via glide

• Slip occurs on close-packed planes in close-packed directions

• Slip system = Slip plane + Slip direction

Slip in FCC CrystalsSlip in FCC Crystals

Each unit cell contains 4 {111} planesEach {111} plane contains 3 <110> directions

Thus, there are 12 slip systems in an FCC unit cell

Close-packed plane: 111

Close-packed directions on 111 : 110

Shortest lattice vectors: 1102

Dislocations usually glide on the basal plane with 1102

RECALL: Dissociation of dislocationsRECALL: Dissociation of dislocations

• Because of energy considerations it is also possible for somedislocations to dissociate (split) into shorter segments. This is favorable in certain crystals (Ex., FCC).

• This is possible in close-packed crystals such as FCC and HCP where equilibrium positions are not the edges of the unit cell.

IMPORTANTElastic strain energy Gb2

• In this example, the separation into partial dislocations is energetically favorable. There is a decrease in strain energy.

• Separation produces a stacking fault between the partials.

Less energy is required if unit dislocation dissociates:

• AB represents a regular (un-extended) dislocation.

• BC and BD represent partial dislocations.

• The region between BC and BC represents the stacking fault. In this region, the crystal has undergone “intermediate” slip.

• BC + stacking fault + BD represents an extended dislocation.

• Extended dislocations (in particular screw dislocations) define a specific slip plane. Thus, extended screw dislocations can only cross-slip when the partial dislocations recombine. See the illustration on the next page.

• This process requires some energy.

Schematic illustration

• It is more difficult to re-combine wide stacking faults (i.e., those with large d).

• Cross-slip is more difficult in materials with low SFE. Thus high SFE materials will work harden more rapidly.

• We will address this in more detail when we discuss work hardening.

• Formed by inserting or removing one close-packed {111} layer of atoms. This results in either an intrinsic or an extrinsic stacking fault.

• This results in an edge dislocation with a Burgers vector is normal to the {111} plane of the fault. This dislocation is sessile.

<110> directions

Each unit cell contains 12 {112} planesEach {112} plane contains 1 <111> directionThus, there are 12 {112}<111> slip systems.

Each unit cell contains 24 {123} planesEach {123} plane contains 1 <111> directionThus, there are 24 {112}<111> slip systems.

Thus there are a total of 48 possible slip systems inBCC crystals

• Slip on {110} is most prevalent.

• However, {112}, and {123} planes, but

• Three {110} planes intersect a [111] direction. Unit screw dislocations can easily move from one {110} to {123} and/or {211} planes resulting in wavy slip lines.

• Extended dislocations are uncommon.
