Behavior and Manufacturing Properties of Material

Schematic Representation of the Bohr Atom

Periodic Table of the Elements

Equilibrium condition: atom spacing fixed unless bonding energy overcome

Ionic Bonding Sodium Chloride Schematic

Covalent Bonding Methane Schematic

Metallic Bonding

Bonding Energies and Melting Temperatures for Various Substances

Crystal Structures:

Example: Calculate the volume of an FCC unit cell in terms of the atomic radius R.

Example: Show that the atomic packing factor for the FCC crystal structure is 0.74

Body centered cubic structure

Hexagonal close packed structure

Similarities in FCC and HCP

Atomic Radii and Crystal Structure for Common Metals

Computation of Density

Theoretical Strength of a Metal

Theoretical Strength of a Metal

Solidification of Polycrystalline Material

Microstructure of Common Materials

Anisotropy:

Point Defects (lattice irregularities) Impede dislocation motion

Point defects in a close-packed plane

Local stress implication of point defects

Dislocations (line defects) motion allows slip (plastic deformation wherein interatomic bonds are ruptured and reformed).

Edge Dislocations Allow Slip at a Much Lower Stress Than in a Perfect Crystal

Crystal with Edge Dislocation:

Dislocation motion is analogous to the movement of a caterpillar

Edge Dislocation in Two-Dimensional Close-Packed Lattice

Bubble raft illustrating several grain boundaries of varying misorientation q.

Screw Dislocation

Screw Dislocations (lattice irregularity)

Motion of Dislocations

Dislocation with edge, screw and mixed character

Slip is dominant mechanism for deformation

Slip Lines

Slip Planes

Slip systems for face-centered cubic, body-centered cubic, and hexagonal close-packed metals

Plastic Deformation of Polycrystalline Materials:

Strengthening

Strengthening by Grain Size Reduction

Solid Solution Hardening

Strain Hardening (Cold Working)

Strain Hardening (Cold Working):

Recovery, Recystallization and Grain Growth
