  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. 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 .

  5. 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 ...

  6. Burgers vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgers_vector

    The vector's magnitude and direction is best understood when the dislocation-bearing crystal structure is first visualized without the dislocation, that is, the perfect crystal structure. In this perfect crystal structure, a rectangle whose lengths and widths are integer multiples of a (the unit cell edge length) is drawn encompassing the site ...

  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. Recovery (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_(metallurgy)

    Dislocation motion is relatively difficult in a metal with a low stacking fault energy and so the dislocation distribution after deformation is largely random. In contrast, metals with moderate to high stacking fault energy, e.g. aluminum, tend to form a cellular structure where the cell walls consist of rough tangles of dislocations.

  9. Grain boundary strengthening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_boundary_strengthening

    The periodic introduction of dislocations along the boundary plays a key role in partially relieving the coherency strains. These dislocations act as periodic defects that accommodate the lattice mismatch between the particle and the matrix. The dislocations can be introduced during the precipitation process or during subsequent annealing ...
