  2. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    In the diagram on the right, the specific plane and direction are (111) and [1 10], respectively. Given the permutations of the slip plane types and direction types, fcc crystals have 12 slip systems. [3] In the fcc lattice, the norm of the Burgers vector, b, can be calculated using the following equation: [4]

  3. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    Comparison of fcc and hcp lattices, explaining the formation of stacking faults in close-packed crystals. In crystallography, a stacking fault is a planar defect that can occur in crystalline materials. [1] [2] Crystalline materials form repeating patterns of layers of atoms. Errors can occur in the sequence of these layers and are known as ...

  4. Miller index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_index

    Examples of determining indices for a plane using intercepts with axes; left (111), right (221) There are two equivalent ways to define the meaning of the Miller indices: [1] via a point in the reciprocal lattice, or as the inverse intercepts along the lattice vectors.

  5. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    The FCC and HCP packings are the densest known packings of equal spheres with the highest symmetry (smallest repeat units). Denser sphere packings are known, but they involve unequal sphere packing. A packing density of 1, filling space completely, requires non-spherical shapes, such as honeycombs.

  6. Cross slip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Slip

    In face centered cubic (FCC) metals, screw dislocations can cross-slip from one {111} type plane to another. However, in FCC metals, pure screw dislocations dissociate into two mixed partial dislocations on a {111} plane, and the extended screw dislocation can only glide on the plane containing the two partial dislocations. [ 2 ]

  7. Stacking-fault energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking-fault_energy

    A stacking fault is an irregularity in the planar stacking sequence of atoms in a crystal – in FCC metals the normal stacking sequence is ABCABC etc., but if a stacking fault is introduced it may introduce an irregularity such as ABCBCABC into the normal stacking sequence. These irregularities carry a certain energy which is called the ...

  8. Critical resolved shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_resolved_shear_stress

    The Schmid factor is most applicable to FCC single-crystal metals, [3] but for polycrystal metals the Taylor factor has been shown to be more accurate. [4] The CRSS is the value of resolved shear stress at which yielding of the grain occurs, marking the onset of plastic deformation. CRSS, therefore, is a material property and is not dependent ...
