Dislocations and Plastic Deformation

In crystalline solids,

the onset of plastic deformation is caused

by the movement of dislocations.

• Metals: Disl. motion easier-non-directional bonding-close-packed directions

for slip. electron cloud

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

• Ionic Ceramics (NaCl): Motion hard-need to avoid ++ and -- neighbors.

Dislocations & Materials Classes

Dislocation Motion_1

Dislocations & plastic deformation• Cubic & hexagonal metals - plastic deformation by

plastic shear or slip where one plane of atoms slides over adjacent plane by defect motion (dislocations).

• If dislocations don't move, deformation doesn't occur!

Dislocation Motion_2

• Dislocation moves along slip plane in slip directionperpendicular to edge dislocation line

• Slip direction same direction as Burgers vector

Deformation Mechanisms

Plastic flow of crystalline materials usually occurs by slipalong certain crystal planes and in certain crystal directions.

A slip plane and direction is called a slip system.

Rule for slip

1. Slip always occurs in closed packed direction - in direction of shortest lattice translation vector.

2. Slip usually occurs on the smoothest and most widely spaced (or densely packed) plane, but this rule is not always obeyed.

Slip in Single Crystals

1) Dislocations move in response to shear.

2) Applied tensile stress in one direction acts like a shear stress on any plane angled to that direction.

Compression

Dislocations can move by a shear stress.In σ - ε curve, we learned strength of the material characterizedby tensile yield strength

Strengthening Strategy 2 : Solid Solutions

• Impurity atoms distort the lattice & generate stress.• Stress can produce a barrier to dislocation motion.

• Smaller substitutionalimpurity

• Larger substitutionalimpurity

Impurity generates local shear at A and B that opposes disl motion to the right.

Impurity generates local shear at C and D that opposes disl motion to the right.

Strengthening by Alloying_1

• small impurities tend to concentrate at dislocations

• reduce mobility of dislocation increase strength

Strengthening by Alloying_2

• large impurities concentrate at dislocations on low density side

Ex : Solid Solution Strengthening in Copperex : Solid Solution Strengthening in Copper

• Tensile strength & yield strength increase w/wt% Ni.

• Empirical relation:• Alloying increases σy and TS.

Recrystalization Temperature, TR

• TR = recrystallization temperaturepoint of highest rate of property change

or temperature at which the crystallization reaches completion in 1hr

– Tm => TR 0.3-0.6 Tm (K)– Due to diffusion annealing time TR = f(t)

shorter annealing time => higher TR

– Higher %CW => lower TR – strain hardening– Pure metals => lower TR due to easier movement of grain

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.

Summary

• Dislocations are observed primarily in metalsand alloys.

• Here, strength is increased by making dislocationmotion difficult.

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

• Heating (annealing) can reduce dislocation densityand increase grain size.
