Metals are extremely good conductors of electricity and heat.
They are not transparent to visible light. Metals are quite strong.A polished metal
surface has a lustrous appearance.
Ceramics
Ceramics are compounds between metallic and nonmetallic elements
They are insulative to the passage of electricity and heat.and heat.
They are more resistant to high temperatures and harsh environments than metals and polymers.
ceramics are hard but very brittle. Example : oxides, nitrides, and carbides.
Polymer

They have very large molecular structures. They have low densities and may be
extremely flexible
Crystalline material
A crystalline material is one in which the atoms are situated in a repeating or periodic array over large atomic distances.
All metals, many ceramic materials, and certain All metals, many ceramic materials, and certain polymers form crystalline structures under normal solidification conditions.
Some of the properties of crystalline solids depend on the crystal structure of the material
Example: Al, Cu, Cd, gold, Cr
Non-Crystalline material
Non-crystalline solids lack a systematic and regular arrangement of atoms over relatively large atomic distances.
Sometimes such materials are also called Sometimes such materials are also called amorphous or supercooled liquids
Example : Fused silica,
Crystalline Vs Non-crystalline Structure
Single crystal material
For a crystalline solid, when the periodic and repeated arrangement of atoms is perfect the result is a single crystal.
All unit cells interlock in the same way and have the same orientation.the same orientation.
Single crystals exist in nature, but they may also be produced artificially.
single crystals of silicon and other semiconductors are used in electronic micro circuit.
Poly Crystalline material Most crystalline solids are composed of a
collection of many small crystals or grains Such materials are termed polycrystalline. the crystallographic orientation varies from
grain to grain.grain to grain. The region where two grains meet is called a
grain boundary. some atomic mismatch exists in the grain
boundary.
Polycrystalline material
Crystalline defects
A lattice irregularity having one or more of its dimensions on the order of an atomic diameter is called crystalline defect. Point defect Point defect One dimensional defect or linear defect Two dimensional defect Bulk or volume defect

Linear or one-dimensional defect
Linear defect Dislocation
A dislocation is a one dimensional defect around which atoms are misaligned.
Types of dislocation Edge dislocation Edge dislocation Screw dislocation
Edge Dislocation
An extra portion of a plane of atoms, or half-plane, the edge of which terminates within the crystal. This is termed an edge dislocation
In an edge dislocation, localized lattice In an edge dislocation, localized lattice distortion exists along the end of an extra half-plane of atoms.
This extra half plane of atom defines the dislocation line.
Elasticity in metals
Elastic deformation: Deformation in which the stress and strain is proportional is called elastic deformation.
As per Hooks law within the elastic limit the As per Hooks law within the elastic limit the stress is proportional to the strain.
= E ------------ eqn 1 The constant of proportionality is called as
Modulus of Elasticity or young's modulus (E).
Elasticity in metals
Stress strain curve that show the linear elastic deformation
Elasticity in metals
The plot of stress and strain with in the elastic limit yield a linear relationship.
The slope of this linear segment corresponds to The slope of this linear segment corresponds to the modulus of elasticity E.
Modulus of elasticity is also referred as stiffness Stiffness is a materials resistance to elastic
deformation. The greater the modulus, the material is stiffer.
Elasticity in metals
Elastic deformation is temporary or nonpermanent.
when the load is removed the material returns to its original shape.to its original shape.
In the atomic level, the elastic deformation occurred because of small change in the inter atomic spacing and the stretching of inter atomic bonds.
Elasticity in metals
The magnitude of the modulus of elasticity is a measure of the resistance to separation of adjacent atoms.
This elasticity is proportional to the slope of This elasticity is proportional to the slope of the inter-atomic force-separation curve.

Plastic Deformation
When the material is deformed beyond the elastic point, the stress is no longer proportional to strain and plastic deformation occurs.to strain and plastic deformation occurs.
Upon removal of the stress they do not return to their original position.
This permanent deformation for metals is accomplished by means of a process called slip.
Plastic Deformation
Plastic Deformation
Slip involves the motion of dislocations During this process, inter-atomic bonds must
be ruptured and then reformedbe ruptured and then reformed On a microscopic scale, plastic deformation
corresponds to the net movement of large numbers of atoms in response to an applied stress.
Mechanism of Plastic deformation
Two mechanisms that cause the plastic deformation are1. Slip2. Twinning2. Twinning
Plastic deformation - Motion of large
PlasticDeformation by Slip
Plastic deformation - Motion of large numbers of dislocations in a crystal
Plastic Deformation by Slip
Slip is a plastic deformation mechanism in which one part of the crystal moves or glides over another part along slip planes.
The movement of large number of dislocations The movement of large number of dislocations within the crystal are responsible for slip.
An edge dislocation moves in response to a shear stress applied in a direction perpendicular to its line (dislocation line).
Mechanics of Dislocation Motion
Mechanics of Dislocation Motion
Formation of a step on the surface of a crystal by the motion of an edge dislocation
Slip System
There is a preferred plane, and in that plane there are specific directions along which dislocation motion occurs.
The crystallographic plane along which the The crystallographic plane along which the dislocation line traverses is the slip plane.
In that slip plane the dislocation travel in a particular direction. It is called slip direction.
This combination of the slip plane and the slip direction is termed the slip system
Slip System
Metals with FCC or BCC crystal structures have a relatively large number of slip systems (at least 12)
These metals are quite ductile because These metals are quite ductile because extensive plastic deformation is normally possible along the various systems.
Conversely, HCP metals, having few active slip systems, are normally quite brittle.
Slip System
The slip system depends on the crystal structure of the metal.
For a particular crystal structure, the slip plane is that plane having the most dense atomic is that plane having the most dense atomic packing, that is, has the greatest planar density.
The slip direction corresponds to the direction, in this plane, that is most closely packed with atoms, that is, has the highest linear density
Plastic Deformation by Slip
In slip the crystal lattice move by multiple of unit spacing between the atoms.
Slip results in visible step on the surface of the crystal.crystal.
Slip System for FCC unit cell
Dislocation
The number of dislocations, or dislocation density in a material, is expressed as the total dislocation length per unit volume.
The units of dislocation density are millimeters of dislocation per cubic millimeter or just per square millimeter.
10-3 mm2 are typically found in carefully solidified metal crystals
Dislocation
All metals and alloys contain some dislocations that were introduced during Solidification Plastic deformation and Plastic deformation and as a consequence of thermal stresses that result
from rapid cooling
Twin Boundary
A twin boundary is a special type of grain boundary across which there is a specific mirror lattice symmetry.
Atoms on one side of the boundary are Atoms on one side of the boundary are located in mirror image positions of the atoms on the other side
Twin Boundary
Plastic Deformation by Twinning
Twinning is a plastic deformation mechanism. In twinning, each plane of atoms moves in the
same direction, a definite distance, such that the extent of the movement of each plane is the extent of the movement of each plane is proportional to its distance from the twinning plane.
Plastic Deformation by Twinning
The movement of the planes alters the direction of the lattice and thus a twinned region forms.region forms.
After twinning it appears as if two parts of a crystal having same orientation are joined by a twin band of the crystal having a markedly different orientation.
Plastic Deformation by Twinning
Plastic Deformation by Twinning
Twinning occurs on a definite crystallographic plane and in a specific direction, both of which depend on the crystal structure.

Strengthening Mechanisms
All strengthening techniques rely on this simple principle
Restricting or hindering dislocation motion makes a material harder and motion makes a material harder and stronger.
Strengthening Mechanisms
Different types of strengthening Mechanisms arev Grain boundary strengtheningv Solid-solution strengtheningv Solid-solution strengtheningv Work hardening v Dispersion strengthening v Particle strengthening v Fiber strengthening
Grain boundary
Grain Boundary Strengthening
The size of the grains, in a polycrystalline metal influences the mechanical properties.
Adjacent grains have different crystallographic Adjacent grains have different crystallographic orientations and, a common grain boundary.
During plastic deformation, dislocation motion must take place across this common boundary, say, from grain A to grain B.
Grain Boundary Strengthening
The grain boundary acts as a barrier to dislocation motion for two reasons:
1. Since the two grains are of different orientations, a dislocation passing into grain B orientations, a dislocation passing into grain B will have to change its direction of motion; this becomes more difficult as the crystallographic misorientation increases.
2. The atomic disorder within a grain boundary region will result in a discontinuity of slip planes from one grain into the other.
Grain Boundary Strengthening
A fine-grained material is harder and stronger than one that is coarse grained.
The reason is the fine grain material has a greater total grain boundary area to impede greater total grain boundary area to impede dislocation motion.
Grain Boundary Strengthening
Grain Boundary Strengthening
Grain size may be regulated by the rate of solidification from the liquid phase,
and also by plastic deformation followed by an appropriate by plastic deformation followed by an appropriate
heat treatment.
grain size reduction improves not only strength, but also the toughness of many alloys.
Hall-Petch Equation
For many materials, the yield strength y varies with grain size according to
Above equation is called as Hall-petch equation d is the average grain diameter 0 and ky are constants for a particular material
Grain Boundary Strengthening
Problem based on Hall-Petch Equation
The lower yield point for an iron that has an average grain diameter of 5 x10-2 mm is 135 MPa. At a grain diameter of 8 x 10-3 mm, the yield point increases to 260MPa. At what grain yield point increases to 260MPa. At what grain diameter will the lower yield point be 205 Mpa? (d = 1.48x10-2 mm)
Solid-Solution Strengthening In Solid-solution strengthening, impurity atoms
added to the pure metal. These atoms substitute the base metal atoms or go
and occupy the interstitial space between them.Pure metals generally soft and weak in nature than Pure metals generally soft and weak in nature than alloys.
When impurity atoms is added with pure metal, they go inside the solid solution and induce lattice strains on the surrounding host atoms.
Solid Solution
A solid solution forms when, as the solute atoms are added to the host material, the crystal structure is maintained, and no new structures are formed.structures are formed.

Solid Solution
Solid-Solution Strengthening
During plastic deformation, dislocation travel inside the solid solution.
Lattice strain field of moving dislocation interact with the strain field induced by the interact with the strain field induced by the impurity atoms.
These interaction restrict the free movement of the dislocation and in turn raises the strength needed to deform the metal.
Solid-Solution Strengthening
An impurity atom that is smaller than a host atom for which it substitutes exerts tensile strains on the surrounding crystal lattice.
Conversely, a larger substitutional atom Conversely, a larger substitutional atom imposes compressive strains in its vicinity.

Strain Hardening or Work Hardening
Strain hardening is the phenomenon whereby a ductile metal becomes harder and stronger as it is plastically deformed.
Strain hardening can be explain with the help Strain hardening can be explain with the help of stress strain curve.
Strain Hardening or Work Hardening
Initially, the metal with yield strength y0 is plastically deformed to point D.
The stress is released, then reapplied with a resultant new yield strength, y . resultant new yield strength, yi .
The metal has thus become stronger during the process because yi is greater than y0 .
Strain Hardening or Work Hardening
Strain Hardening Based on dislocation concept
The dislocation density in a metal increases with deformation , due to dislocation multiplication or the formation of new dislocations.
Consequently, the average distance of Consequently, the average distance of separation between dislocations decreases. The dislocations are positioned closer together.
On the average, dislocationdislocation strain interactions are repulsive.
Strain Hardening Based on dislocation concept
The net result is that the motion of a dislocation is hindered by the presence of other dislocations.
As the dislocation density increases, this As the dislocation density increases, this resistance to dislocation motion by other dislocations becomes more pronounced.
Thus, the imposed stress necessary to deform a metal increases with increasing cold work.
Strain Hardening Based on dislocation concept
Strain hardening is utilized to enhance the mechanical properties of metals during fabrication procedures.
The effects of strain hardening may be The effects of strain hardening may be removed by an annealing heat treatment.
Dispersion Strengthening
The strength of metal can be increased by finely dispersing small, hard and inert particles in the matrix metal.
These particles act as an obstacle for moving These particles act as an obstacle for moving dislocations.
Dispersion Strengthening
In this method, finely divided hard insoluble particles (10-7 cm diameter) are added into the soft metal matrix.
The dispersed hard insoluble particles are The dispersed hard insoluble particles are called as despersoid.
The hard particles are carbides, oxides & nitrides or intermetallic compounds.
Dispersion Strengthening
These hard particles provide obstruction to the moving dislocation.
Also the interaction of the stress field of dislocation and stress field around particles dislocation and stress field around particles offer resistance.
These resistance to dislocation raises the stress needed for the dislocation movement.
Dispersion Strengthening
These particles neither dissolve at high temperature nor grow in size.
Hence dispersion strengthened materials maintain their strength even at high maintain their strength even at high temperatures.
Dispersion strengthened alloys are produced by powder metallurgy technique(mechanical alloying).
Dispersion Strengthening Dislocation movement against the Particles
Dispersion Strengthening
In this method, the increase in strength of the material depends on 1. The amount of particles2. The size of the particles2. The size of the particles3. The shape of the particles4. The distribution of the particles in the metal matrix
