  2. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    Splitting into two partial dislocations is favorable because the energy of a line defect is proportional to the square of the burger’s vector magnitude. For example, an edge dislocation may split into two Shockley partial dislocations with burger’s vector of 1/6<112>. [4] This direction is no longer in the closest packed direction, and ...

  3. Dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocation

    In materials science, a dislocation or Taylor's dislocation is a linear crystallographic defect or irregularity within a crystal structure that contains an abrupt change in the arrangement of atoms. The movement of dislocations allow atoms to slide over each other at low stress levels and is known as glide or slip .

  4. Crystallographic defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_defect

    Line defects can be described by gauge theories. Dislocations are linear defects, around which the atoms of the crystal lattice are misaligned. [14] There are two basic types of dislocations, the edge dislocation and the screw dislocation. "Mixed" dislocations, combining aspects of both types, are also common. An edge dislocation is shown. The ...

  5. Vacancy defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacancy_defect

    In crystallography, a vacancy is a type of point defect in a crystal where an atom is missing from one of the lattice sites. [2] Crystals inherently possess imperfections, sometimes referred to as crystallographic defects. Vacancies occur naturally in all crystalline materials.

  6. Slip bands in metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_bands_in_metals

    PSB structure (adopted from [7]). Persistent slip-bands (PSBs) are associated with strain localisation due to fatigue in metals and cracking on the same plane. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD [8]) simulation were used to reveal and understand dislocations type and arrangement/patterns to relate it to the sub-surface structure.

  7. Disclination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclination

    Formation of two disclinations (right) out of a dislocation (left) on an otherwise hexagonal background. In 2D, disclinations and dislocations are point defects instead of line defects as in 3D. They are topological defects and play a central role in melting of 2D crystals within the KTHNY theory, based on two Kosterlitz–Thouless transitions.

  8. Stacking-fault energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking-fault_energy

    The equilibrium width is thus partially determined by the stacking-fault energy. When the SFE is high the dissociation of a full dislocation into two partials is energetically unfavorable, and the material can deform either by dislocation glide or cross-slip. Lower SFE materials display wider stacking faults and have more difficulties for cross ...

  9. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

    This relationship does not apply when dislocations form cell structures. When cell structures are formed, the average cell size controls the strengthening effect. [6] Increasing the dislocation density increases the yield strength which results in a higher shear stress required to move the dislocations.
