Real crystals contain_____.
defects
Plastic deformation corresponds to the______.
Motion of dislocations.
Slip is ____.
plastic deformation resulting from dislocation motion
Slip Plane
The plane along which slip occurs
For an edge dislocation, the dislocation motion is ________ to the motion of applied shear stress.
parallel
For a screw dislocation , the dislocation motion is ______ to the motion of applied shear stress.
perpendicular
The preferred plane is called the
slip plane - the plane with the highest planar density
Slip direction
the direction along which dislocation motion occurs - the direction within the slip plane that has the highest linear density

The combination of a slip plane and a slip direction is a ______.
slip system
FCC and HCP have _____
close packed planes and close packed directions.
BCC and SC have______.
Close packed direction but not close packed planes.
Burgers vector for FCC crystal structure
b = (1/2)<1 1 0>
Burgers vector for BCC crystal structure
b = (1/2)< 1 1 1>
Burgers vector for HCP crystal structure
b = (1/3)<1 1 2̅ 0>
Stress required to move a dislocation
Peierls-Nabarred Stress ( and doesn’t involve temp)
For a low PN-stress we want:
low b and high d

BCC primary slip system:
{110} <110>
HCP primary slip system:
{0001} <1 1 2̅ 0>
FCC and BCC are more _______
ductile due to large number of slip systems
HCP are more _____.
brittle due to limited slip systems available.
Resolved Shear Stress:
Tr = (σ)cos(Φ)cos(λ)
Φ: The angle between the applied tensile force direction and the normal (perpendicular) to the slip plane.
λ: The angle between the applied tensile force direction and the slip direction.
Critical Resolved Shear Stress
Tcrss, the shear stress, resolved within a slip plane and direction, required to initiate slip. (involves temp).
A single crystal plastically deforms when:
T(r,max)>Tcrss
Single crystals ______ creep, which is critical at a high temp.
decrease. (no grain boundaries there is less creep)
Grain boundaries make slip _______.
more difficult.
Polycrystalline metals are_______than a single crystal of same metal.
stronger
