3 Difference between Crystal & Lattice Chapter 9-3

4 Unit Cell Chapter 9-4

5 Crystal system and Bravais Lattice Chapter 9-5

6 Cubic Bravais Lattice Chapter 9-6

7 Lattice Defects ü Real crystals deviate from the perfect periodicity ü While the concept of the perfect lattice is adequate for explaining the structure-insensitive properties of metal, it is necessary to consider a number of types of lattice defects to explain structure-sensitive properties Chapter 9-7

8 Different Types of Lattice Defects Point defects Line defects Surface defects Volume defects Chapter 9-8

9 Point Defects Number of vacant sites (n) Vacancy Interstitial Impurity Chapter 9-9

10 Line Defects - Dislocations Edge dislocation produced by slip in cubic system Atomic arrangement near edge dislocation Chapter 9-10

11 Deformation by slip Schematic drawing of classical idea of slip Chapter 9-11

12 Slip in perfect lattice Shear displacement of plane of atoms over another Relation between shear stress and displacement The max. stress at which slip should occur Variation of shearing stress with displacement in slip direction Chapter 9-12

13 Slip by dislocation movements If dislocations don't move, deformation doesn't occur! Chapter 9-13

14 Dislocation Motion Dislocation moves along slip plane in slip direction perpendicular to dislocation line Slip direction same direction as Burgers vector Edge dislocation From Fig Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version. Screw dislocation Chapter 9-14

15 Critical Resolved Shear Stress for Slip Slip begins when the shearing stress on the slip plane in the slip direction reaches a threshold value called as critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) Chapter 9-15

16 Stress and Dislocation Motion Crystals slip due to a resolved shear stress, t R. Applied tension can produce such a stress. Applied tensile stress: s = F/A F A F Resolved shear stress: t R =Fs/As slip plane normal, n s t R t R Relation between s and t R t R =F S /A S A S Fcos l A/cos f F S F l F S n S f A S A t R = scos lcos f Chapter 9-16

17 Condition for dislocation motion: Crystal orientation can make it easy or hard to move dislocation t Critical Resolved Shear Stress R = scos lcos f t R > tcrss s s s typically 10-4 GPa to 10-2 GPa t R = 0 l=90 t R = s/2 l=45 f =45 t R = 0 f=90 t maximum at l = f = 45º Chapter 9-17

18 Single Crystal Slip From Fig. 10.9, Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version. From Fig Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version. Chapter 9-18

19 Ex: Deformation of single crystal f=60 l=35 a) Will the single crystal yield? b) If not, what stress is needed? t crss = 3000 psi t = s cos l cos f s = 6500 psi Adapted from Fig. 7.7, Callister 7e. s = 6500 psi t = (6500 psi) (cos35 o )(cos60 o ) = (6500 psi) (0.41) t = 2662 psi < t crss = 3000 psi So the applied stress of 6500 psi will not cause the crystal to yield. Chapter 9-19

20 Ex: Deformation of single crystal What stress is necessary (i.e., what is the yield stress, s y )? t crss = 3000 psi = s y cosl cosf = s y (0.41) \ s y = t coslcosf 3000 psi 0.41 crss = = 7325 psi So for deformation to occur the applied stress must be greater than or equal to the yield stress s ³ s y = 7325 psi Chapter 9-20

21 Assignment Determine the tensile stress that need to be applied along the [1-10] axis of a silver crystal to cause slip on the (1-1-1)[0-11] system. The CRSS is 6 MPa. Chapter 9-21

22 Slip Motion in Polycrystals Stronger - grain boundaries pin deformations s Slip planes & directions (l, f) change from one crystal to another. t R will vary from one crystal to another. The crystal with the largest t R yields first. Other (less favorably oriented) crystals yield later. 300 mm From Fig , Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version.

31 Strategies for Strengthening: 1: Reduce Grain Size Grain boundaries are barriers to slip. Barrier "strength" increases with Increasing angle of misorientation. Smaller grain size: more barriers to slip. From Fig , Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version. (Fig is from A Textbook of Materials Technology, by Van Vlack, Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ.) Hall-Petch Equation: s yield = s o + k y d -1/ 2 Chapter 9-31

32 4 Strategies for Strengthening: 2: Solid Solutions Impurity atoms distort the lattice & generate stress. Stress can produce a barrier to dislocation motion. Smaller substitutional impurity Larger substitutional impurity A C B D Impurity generates local stress at A and B that opposes dislocation motion to the right. Impurity generates local stress at C and D that opposes dislocation motion to the right. Chapter 9-32

33 Stress Concentration at Dislocations From Fig. 10.4, Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version. Chapter 9-33

34 Strengthening by Alloying small impurities tend to concentrate at dislocations reduce mobility of dislocation \ increase strength From Fig , Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version. Chapter 9-34

37 4 Strategies for Strengthening: 3: Precipitation Strengthening Hard precipitates are difficult to shear. Ex: Ceramics in metals (SiC in Iron or Aluminum). Side View precipitate Large shear stress needed to move dislocation toward precipitate and shear it. Top View Unslipped part of slip plane S Slipped part of slip plane Dislocation advances but precipitates act as pinning sites with spacing S. Result: sy~ 1 S Chapter 9-37

Miller, Boeing Commercial Airplane Company.) Aluminum is strengthened with precipitates formed by alloying. From Fig , Callister s Materials Science and Engineering, Adapted Version. 1.5mm (Fig is courtesy of G.H. Narayanan and A.G. Miller, Boeing Commercial Airplane Company.) Chapter 9-38

39 Interaction between precipitates and dislocation When the particles are small and/or soft, dislocations can cut and deform the particles as shown in the Figure Chapter 9-39

40 Interaction between precipitates and dislocation For the case of averaged non-coherent precipitates Orowan proposed the mechanism illustrated in the Fig. below. The yield stress is determined by the shear stress required to bow a dislocation line between two particles separated by a distance l, where l>r. Schematic drawing, of stages in passage of a dislocation between widely separated obstacles, based on Orowan's mechanism of dispersion hardening Chapter 9-40

41 Stage 1: A straight dislocation line approaching two particles. Stage 2: The line is beginning to bend. Stage 3: It has reached the critical curvature. The dislocation can then move forward without further decreasing its radius of curvature (R). and l = 2R, so that the shear stress required to force the dislocation between the obstacles is: Chapter 9-41

42 Stage 4: Since the segments of dislocation that meet on the other side of the particle are of opposite sign. they can annihilate each other over part of their length, leaving a dislocation loop around each particle Stage 5: The original dislocation is then free to move on Every dislocation gliding over the slip plane adds one loop around the particle. These loops exert a back stress on dislocation sources which must be overcome for additional slip to take place. This requires an increase in shear stress, with the result that dispersed non-coherent particles cause the matrix to strain-harden rapidly Chapter 9-42

43 Exercise An alurninum-4% copper alloy has a yield stress of 600 MPa. Estimate the particle spacing in this alloy. Given G ~ 27.6 GPa; b~0.25 nm. At this strength level we are dealing with a precipitation-hardening alloy that has been aged beyond the maximum strength. The strengthening mechanism is dislocation bypassing of particles. G ~ 27.6 GPa; b~0.25 nm; t 0 = 600/2 = 300 MPa Chapter 9-43

57 Assignment Compute the strain-hardening exponent (n) for an alloy in which a true stress of 415 MPa produces true strain of Assume a value of 1035 MPa for K. Chapter 9-57

58 Instability in Tension ü Necking generally begins at maximum load during the tensile deformation of a ductile metal. ü An ideal plastic material in which no strain hardening occurs would become unstable in tension and begin to neck just as soon as yielding took place. ühowever, a real metal undergoes strain hardening, which tends to increase the load-carrying capacity of the specimen as deformation increases. This effect is opposed by the gradual decrease in the cross-sectional area of the specimen as it elongates. Chapter 9-58

59 Instability in Tension - Necking ünecking or localized deformation begins at maximum load, where the increase in stress due to decrease in the crosssectional area of the specimen becomes greater than the increase in the load-carrying ability of the metal due to strain hardening. üthis condition of instability leading to localized deformation is defined by the condition dp = 0. P = sa dp = s da + Ads = 0 This leads to the following relationship,.(1) Chapter 9-59

63 Relation between Stress and Strain Rate A general relationship exists between tensile stress and strain rate, at constant strain and temperature: s = C (e& ) m T T where m is known as the strain-rate sensitivity Chapter 9-63

74 Effect of Heating (Annealing) After Cold Working q Annealing of the cold worked structure at high temperature softens the metal and reverts to a strainfree condition. q Annealing restores the ductility to a metal that has been severely strain hardened. q Annealing can be divided into three distinct processes: ü Recovery ü Recrystallization ü Grain growth Chapter 9-74

83 Summary Recovery : The restoration of the physical properties of the cold worked metal without any observable change in microstructure. Strength is not affected. Recrystallization : The cold worked structure is replaced by a new set of strain-free grains due to migration of high angle grain boundaries. Hardness and strength decrease but ductility increases. Grain growth : Occurs at higher temperature where some of the recrystallized fine grains start to grow rapidly. Chapter 9-83
