1. Get your paper clip for experiment on the way into class!!

2. Dislocations And now the rest of the story! Dislocations And now the rest of the story! Mechanism of plastic deformation connected with existence of defects in atom arrangement known as dislocations Ideally, atom arrangement within a crystal repeats perfectly Mistakes (defects) in repetition occur in reality

3. Dislocations Situation is this: strength of a material w/ no dislocations is Dislocations Situation is this: strength of a material w/ no dislocations is 20-100 times greater than ordinary materials Think of edge dislocation as extra plane of atoms partially inserted into crystal

4. Dislocations These things are real! We can see them! (in an electron microscope) Dislocations These things are real! We can see them! (in an electron microscope) Dislocation line 0.00001 cm

11. Dislocations Permanent change in shape results Dislocations Permanent change in shape results Dislocation has disappeared Dislocations move along a slip plane

12. Dislocations Watch a real one move! Dislocations Watch a real one move!

13. Dislocations If hundreds of thousands of dislocations move through material, microscopic steps produced in the surface as below Dislocations If hundreds of thousands of dislocations move through material, microscopic steps produced in the surface as below

15. Instructions Roughly straighten a portion of the clip Use thumbnail to judge the smoothness of the wire Now bend & straighten wire sharply at the same point about 4 times without fracturing it Check roughness at bend point; compare Instructions Roughly straighten a portion of the clip Use thumbnail to judge the smoothness of the wire Now bend & straighten wire sharply at the same point about 4 times without fracturing it Check roughness at bend point; compare

16. Dislocations - Initial overview Material w/ NO dislocations is very strong Dislocations weaken a material But it cannot be deformed plastically But dislocations make plastic deformation possible
