Deformation Mechanisms (Metals)
Theoretical strengths ofperfect crystal weremuch higher than those actually measured.
It was believed that this discrepancy in
mechanical strength could be explained bydislocations.
On a macroscopic scale, plastic deformationcorresponds to the net movement of large
numbers of atoms in response to an appliedstress.

Edge and Screw Dislocations
In an edge dislocation, localized latticedistortion exists along the end of an extrahalf-plane of atoms.
A screw dislocation results from sheardistortion.
Many dislocations in crystalline materials
have both edge and screws components;these are mixed dislocations.

Dislocation motion leads to plastic deformation.
An edge dislocation moves in response to a shear stress applied in adirection perpendicular to its line.
Extra half-plane atA is forced to the right; this pushes the top halves
of planes B, C, D in the same direction.
By discrete steps, the extra 1/2-plane moves from L to R by
successive breaking of bonds and shifting of upper 1/2-planes. A step forms on the surface of the crystal as the extra 1/2-plane
exits.

The process by which plastic deformation isproduced by dislocation motion is called slip(movement of dislocations).
The extra
-plane moves along the slip plane. Dislocation movement is similar to the way a
caterpillar moves. The caterpillar hump isrepresentative of the extra -plane of atoms.

When metals are plastically deformed, some fraction (roughly 5%)
of energy is retained internally; the remainder is dissipated as heat.
Mainly, this energy is stored as strain energy associated withdislocations. Lattice distortions exist around the dislocation line.

Slip Systems
Dislocations move more easily on specific planes and inspecific directions.
Ordinarily, there is a preferred plane (slip plane), and
specific directions (slip direction) along which dislocations
move.
The combination of slip plane and slip direction is called
the slip system.
The slip system depends on the crystal structure of the
metal.
The slip plane is the plane that has the most dense
atomic packing (the greatest planar density).
The slip direction is most closely packed with atoms
(highest linear density). 9

Stress and Dislocation Motion
Edge and screw dislocations move inresponse to shear stresses applied along aslip plane in a slip direction.
Even though an applied stress may betensile, shear components exist at all butthe parallel or perpendicular alignments tothe stress direction.
These are resolved shear stresses (R).
Crystals slip due to resolved shear stress.

Condition for dislocation motion:
Critical Resolved Shear Stress
In response to an applied tensile orcompressive stress, slip (dislocation movement) in a
single crystal begins when the resolved shearstress reaches some critical value, crss.
It represents the minimum shear stress
required to initiate slip and is a property of thematerial that determines when yieldingoccurs.

Deformation in a single crystal
For a single crystal intension, slip will occuralong a number ofequivalent and most
favorably oriented planesand directions at variouspositions along thespecimen.
Each step results from themovement of a largenumber of dislocationsalong the same slip plane.

On the surface of a polishedsingle crystal, these stepsappear as lines (slip lines).
Slip planes & directions (, )

In addition to slip (dislocation movement), plastic deformation canoccur by twinning.
A shear force can produce atomic displacements so that onone side of the plane (the twin boundary), atoms are locatedin mirror image positions to atoms on the other side.
Twinning may favorably reorient slip systems to promote
dislocation movement.

The ability of a metal to deform plasticallydepends on the ability of dislocations to move.
Hardness and strength are related to how
easily a metal plastically deforms, so, byreducing dislocation movement, the mechanicalstrength can be improved.
Greater mechanical forces will be required toinitiate further plastic deformation.
To the contrary, if dislocation movement is easy(unhindered), the metal will be soft, easy todeform.

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

Impurity generates local shear at Aand B that opposes dislocationmotion to the right.

Annihilation reduces dislocation density.
Recovery
30
During recovery, some of the stored internal strain energyis relieved through dislocation motion due to enhancedatomic diffusion at the elevated temperatures.
There is some reduction in the number of dislocations. Physical properties (electrical and thermal conductivity)
are recovered to theirpre-cold worked states.

Recrystallization
Even after recovery is complete, the grains arestill in a relatively high strain energy state.
Recrystallization is the formation of a new set ofstrain-free and equiaxed grains that have low
dislocation densities (pre-cold work state). The driving force to produce the new grain
structure is the internal energy difference betweenstrained and unstrained material.
The new grains form as very small nuclei andgrow until they consume the parent material.

GRAIN GROWTH
After recrystallization iscomplete, the strain-freegrains will continue togrow if the metal specimenis left at elevatedtemperatures.
As grains increase in size,the total boundary areadecreases, as does the
total energy. Large grains grow at the
expense of smaller grains.
