CHAPTER 4: IMPERFECTIONS IN SOLIDS ISSUES TO ADDRESS... What types of defects arise in solids? Can the number and type of defects be varied and controlled? How do defects affect material properties? Are defects undesirable?
TYPES OF IMPERFECTIONS Vacancy atoms Interstitial atoms Substitutional atoms Dislocations Grain Boundaries Point defects Line defects Area defects
POINT DEFECTS Vacancies: -vacant atomic sites in a structure. distortion of planes Vacancy Self-Interstitials: -"extra" atoms positioned between atomic sites. distortion of planes selfinterstitial
EQUIL. CONCENTRATION: POINT DEFECTS Equilibrium concentration varies with temperature! No. of defects No. of potential defect sites. Each lattice site is a potential vacancy site N D N = exp Q D kt Activation energy Temperature Boltzmann's constant (1.38 x 10-23 J/atom K) (8.62 x 10-5 ev/atom K)
MEASURING ACTIVATION ENERGY We can get Q from an experiment. Measure this... N D = Q exp D N kt Replot it... ND N exponential dependence! ND ln N 1 slope -QD/k T defect concentration 1/T

POINT DEFECTS IN ALLOYS Two outcomes if impurity (B) added to host (A): Solid solution of B in A (i.e., random dist. of point defects) OR Substitutional alloy (e.g., Cu in Ni) Interstitial alloy (e.g., C in Fe) Solid solution of B in A plus particles of a new phase (usually for a larger amount of B) Second phase particle --different composition --often different structure.

CHAPTER 6: MECHANICAL PROPERTIES ISSUES TO ADDRESS... Stress and strain: What are they and why are they used instead of load and deformation? Elastic behavior: When loads are small, how much deformation occurs? What materials deform least? Plastic behavior: At what point do dislocations cause permanent deformation? What materials are most resistant to permanent deformation? Toughness and ductility: What are they and how do we measure them?
