ESO 205 Nature and Properties of Materials

The document summarizes key concepts related to plastic deformation and crystal defects in materials. It discusses [1] experimental observations of plastic deformation like slip lines formation without changes to crystal structure or volume, [2] the atomistic mechanism of slip involving shear stress overcoming the theoretical yield stress required for dislocation motion, and [3] common types of crystal defects like dislocations, grain boundaries and their effects. Diagrams and equations showing factors determining theoretical yield stress are provided.

Plastic Deformation: Some Experimental Observations

- No change in crystal structure and inter-atomic


spacing (i.e., lattice parameter): confirmed by X-Ray
Diffraction
- No change in volume of the material
- Observation of slip traces on the sample surface

Common Surface Defects
• Free Surface
• surface energy related to the crystallographic
orientation of the free surface

• Grain Boundaries
• a surface demarcating two crystals (or grains in a
polycrystal) of different orientations

• Stacking Faults
• Fault in the stacking of planes
• e.g., consider the cubic close-packed spacing:
• … ABCABCABCABCABCABCACB ….
• A stacking fault is generated in the case below:
• … ABCABCABABCABCABC …
• C layer is changed to A layer
• Locally, HCP packing
