Point defects, such as vacancies and interstitials, are zero-dimensional imperfections in crystals. Line defects called dislocations are one-dimensional imperfections caused by a disruption of the stacking of atomic planes along a line. Dislocations can be edge or screw types. Surface imperfections are two-dimensional and include grain boundaries between crystals of different orientations, as well as twin boundaries and stacking faults. Volume imperfections are three-dimensional and include cracks, voids, and non-crystalline regions in a crystal. The presence of defects increases the potential energy of crystals.
There are several types of imperfections or defects that can occur in crystal structures including point defects, line defects, interfacial defects, and bulk defects. Point defects include vacancies and interstitials which occur naturally in all crystals. Line defects are imperfections where rows of atoms have a differing structure, such as dislocations. Interfacial defects include grain boundaries and twin boundaries. The number and type of defects can be controlled and affect material properties, both positively and negatively.
This document discusses various types of defects that can occur in crystalline solids. It defines point defects as defects involving a few extra or missing atoms located at or near a single lattice point.

Point defects include vacancy defects, where lattice sites are vacant, and interstitial defects, where particles occupy interstitial positions. Point defects in stoichiometric crystals include Schottky defects and Frenkel defects. Non-stoichiometric crystals can have metal excess defects with anionic vacancies or excess cations at interstitial sites, or metal deficient defects with cation vacancies or extra anions at interstitial sites. Impurity defects occur when impurity ions are present at lattice sites or interstitial sites.

This document discusses cathodic and anodic protection techniques to prevent corrosion of metal structures. It describes two methods of cathodic protection: 1) sacrificial anodic protection which uses more reactive "sacrificial anodes" connected to the structure, and 2) impressed current cathodic protection which uses an external current source and inert anode. Applications include protecting underground pipelines, cables, ship hulls, tanks, and more.

Crystal defects refer to any deviations from the regular geometric arrangement of atoms in a crystal structure. No crystal is truly perfect, as defects are always present due to imperfect packing during crystal formation and thermal vibrations. Common types of defects include vacancies where atomic sites are missing, interstitial defects where extra atoms occupy interstitial spaces, Schottky defects where an anion-cation pair is missing, and Frenkel defects where a cation shifts from its regular site to an interstitial site. Line defects called dislocations are also common, where the crystal structure is distorted along a line, and include edge dislocations from extra atomic planes and screw dislocations from spiral displacements of atoms. Defects significantly
Dislocations are line defects in crystals that represent disrupted planes of atoms. They allow plastic deformation via slip along crystallographic planes and directions.
A dislocation is characterized by its Burgers vector, which represents the lattice displacement caused by the dislocation and determines the direction of slip. The Burgers vector connects one lattice position to another.
Dislocations lower the theoretical shear strength of crystals by several orders of magnitude, enabling plasticity. Their motion through glide and climb allows crystals to deform plastically under stress.
Corrosion is the degradation or destruction of a metal due to a reaction with its environment. It occurs via either a chemical or electrochemical process. There are four requirements for electrochemical corrosion to occur: an anode, cathode, electrically conductive medium, and a metallic path connecting the anode and cathode. Corrosion can cause economic losses through damage to structures and equipment, reduce safety, and waste limited metal resources. It is important to study corrosion to prevent failures and catastrophic accidents while extending equipment lifetime in a cost-effective manner.

The document discusses various types of surface defects that can occur in crystals, including external surfaces, grain boundaries, tilt boundaries, twist boundaries, twin boundaries, and stacking faults. External surfaces have unsatisfied atomic bonds and higher surface energy than bulk atoms. Grain boundaries are regions between two adjacent grains that are slightly disordered with low density and high mobility. Tilt boundaries appear as arrays of edge dislocations when grains are misaligned with a parallel rotation axis. Twist boundaries have a perpendicular rotation axis and form as arrays of screw dislocations for low angle grain boundaries. Twin boundaries are mirror images of atomic arrangements across the boundary formed by shear deformation. Stacking faults are imperfections in the stacking sequence of atomic planes in crystals.

This document summarizes different types of defects in crystals. It classifies defects as zero-dimensional point defects, one-dimensional line defects, two-dimensional surface defects, or three-dimensional bulk defects. Point defects include vacancies, interstitials, Frenkel defects, and Schottky defects. Line defects include edge and screw dislocations. Surface defects include grain boundaries and twin boundaries. Bulk defects include precipitates, dispersants, inclusions, and voids. Defects can impact material properties and are sometimes deliberately introduced to improve properties.
Crystal defects occur when the regular patterns of atoms in crystalline materials are interrupted. There are several types of crystal defects including point defects, line defects, and plane defects. Point defects are defects that occur at or around a single lattice point and include vacancies, interstitials, and substitutions. Vacancies occur when an atom is missing from its normal position in the crystal lattice. Interstitials occur when an atom occupies a position between normal lattice sites. Substitutions occur when a foreign atom replaces a host atom in the lattice. The presence of defects is necessary for crystals to have stability at any non-zero temperature due to the contribution of defects to entropy.
nucleation and methods to control grain structureChintan Mehta
This document summarizes different methods to control grain structure in materials, including nucleation and grain refinement. It describes homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, and explains that heterogeneous nucleation occurs more easily at surfaces and imperfections. Methods to control grain structure discussed are single crystal technique, directional solidification, and epitaxial growth. The single crystal technique allows a single nucleus to grow into a single crystal for applications requiring specific crystal orientations. Directional solidification uses a temperature gradient to grow grains in a particular direction, producing columnar microstructures. Epitaxial growth matches the orientation of a thin film to the substrate crystallographically.
Stress corrosion cracking is the failure of a normally ductile metal caused by the combined effect of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. Three factors are required for stress corrosion cracking to occur: a susceptible material, a tensile stress (either applied or residual), and a corrosive environment. Stress corrosion cracking leads to the formation of cracks that propagate in the material over time and eventually result in sudden brittle fracture.
Ferromagnetic materials have three main characteristics:
1) They become spontaneously magnetized in the absence of an external magnetic field due to parallel alignment of magnetic moments.
2) They have a magnetic ordering temperature called the Curie temperature, above which they become paramagnetic.
3) They are used in many devices like transformers, electromagnets, and computer hard drives due to their magnetic properties.

Selective leaching, also called de-alloying or de-metalification, refers to the selective removal of one element from an alloy by corrosion processes. A common example is the dezincification of brass, where zinc is selectively removed leaving a porous copper structure. There are three steps in the mechanism of dezincification: (1) dissolution of the entire alloy, (2) replating of the more noble metal (copper), and (3) leaching away of the active metal (zinc). Dezincification can occur uniformly or in localized plugs and is caused by water containing sulfur, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. Prevention methods include using less susceptible alloys, adding inhibitors like tin

Key results presented include the diverging stresses near dislocations and variations in stress type (tensile vs. compressive) above and below the slip plane for an edge dislocation. The document concludes by noting mixed dislocations contain both edge and screw components and summarizing some properties of stress fields.

(1) Crystal imperfections refer to defects in the regular geometric arrangement of atoms in a crystal structure. They influence properties like mechanical strength.
(2) Imperfections include point defects like vacancies and interstitial atoms, line defects like edge and screw dislocations, surface defects like grain boundaries, and volume defects like cracks and voids.
(3) Dislocations are one-dimensional defects where some atoms are misaligned. They are responsible for ductility in materials. Edge dislocations occur when a slip plane is incomplete, while screw dislocations involve a shear distortion.
Crystal imperfections are broadly classified into four categories: point defects, line defects, planar/surface defects, and volume defects.

Volume defects such as stacking faults disrupt the ordered stacking of close-packed crystal planes. Defects can be either desirable by improving material properties, or undesirable if they reduce properties.

Line defects involve irregularities in the arrangement of entire rows of lattice points and include edge and screw dislocations. The document provides examples and diagrams to illustrate different types of defects.
The document discusses crystal defects and their significance. It begins with an introduction to crystals and crystal defects. There are four main types of crystal defects discussed: point defects, line defects, surface defects, and volume defects. Point defects include vacancies, interstitials, and impurities. Line defects are dislocations like edge and screw dislocations. Surface defects include grain boundaries, twin boundaries, and stacking faults. Volume defects occur on a larger scale and include voids, porosity, and precipitates. In conclusion, the presence discusses how crystal defects can impact properties and significance like improving semiconductor performance or lowering melting points.
Defects are common in real crystals and influence their properties. Point defects include vacancies, interstitials, and impurities. Line defects are dislocations like edge and screw dislocations. The type and amount of defects can be controlled to alter electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties in beneficial ways like improving semiconductor performance or alloy strength. Defects are characterized by their geometry and the Burgers vector, which describes the crystal distortion caused by a dislocation.
Crystals consist of periodically repeating patterns of atoms or molecules arranged in unit cells. Common crystal structures include cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, monoclinic, and triclinic. Defects in crystals such as dislocations and grain boundaries influence properties like strength and ductility. Dislocations are line defects associated with plastic deformation that allow slip to occur in crystals. Motion of dislocations during plastic deformation leads to changes in shape without changing chemical properties.
This document discusses various types of crystal defects including point defects, linear defects (dislocations), and planar defects. It explains that plastic deformation occurs due to the movement of dislocations along specific crystallographic planes and directions known as slip systems. Face-centered cubic metals have 12 possible slip systems comprising the {111} family of planes and <110> directions within each plane. Body-centered cubic and hexagonal close-packed metals also have defined slip systems that allow plastic deformation through dislocation movement.
Edge dislocations occur in crystals when an extra half plane of atoms is present, causing a mismatch. There are two types: positive edge dislocations where the extra half plane is above the slip plane, and negative where it is below. The Burgers vector defines a dislocation by its magnitude and direction, representing the lattice distortion. It can be determined using a Burgers circuit around the dislocation line. Edge dislocations allow slip and ductility in metals, while also influencing their mechanical, electronic, and optical properties.

This document outlines standards and procedures for inspecting DPT including acceptable standards, personal qualifications, indications for inspection, evaluations of indications, acceptance criteria, and repair criteria. Key areas covered are the qualifications of inspectors, what should trigger an inspection, how inspections should be evaluated, and what criteria determine if repairs are needed.
A creep test subjects a specimen to a constant load and temperature over time to measure deformation. There are three creep stages: primary creep where the rate is rapid and decreases over time, secondary creep where the rate is relatively uniform, and tertiary creep where the rate accelerates until rupture. Creep tests are used to determine design parameters like steady-state creep rate and rupture lifetime. Stress rupture tests are similar but impose higher stresses to measure time to fracture. Data from creep tests are used to extrapolate lifetimes at different conditions using methods like the Larson-Miller parameter.
Phase diagrams provide information about the equilibrium conditions and transformations between different phases in a material system. They describe how the phases of a material vary with changes in temperature, pressure, and composition.
This document discusses key concepts related to phase diagrams including phases, the Gibbs phase rule, one-component and binary phase diagrams, eutectic and peritectic reactions, intermediate phases, ternary diagrams, and lever rule. It provides examples of phase diagrams for common material systems like water, Cu-Ni, Pb-Sn, Mg-Pb, and Cu-Zn. Cooling curves are also explained to illustrate phase transformations.
Fatigue refers to damage accumulated through repeated cyclic stresses over time. It is affected by factors like stress type/amplitude, surface finish, material properties, and environment. Fatigue life depends on the mean and amplitude of stresses based on relationships like the Goodman diagram. The Miner's rule states that the fraction of fatigue life consumed by stresses must be less than 1 to avoid failure. Fatigue tests involve repeated cyclic loading in tension, compression, bending, or other patterns to determine fatigue properties.
Creep is a time-dependent deformation of materials that occurs when they are subjected to high temperatures and/or constant stress over long periods of time. It involves the gradual deformation of materials as atoms slowly migrate and rearrange. Creep can lead to sudden fracture or impaired usefulness of structural components. The creep strength of a material represents the highest stress it can withstand over time without exceeding a specified creep strain. Creep behavior is determined through tests that apply different stress levels to specimens at constant temperature and measure the time to failure. Fatigue is the failure of materials caused by repetitive cyclic stresses, even if the stresses are below the yield strength. It can be quantified using an S-N curve, which plots the stress amplitude against the number
The document discusses time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams, which show the microstructural phases that form in steels at different temperatures over time. In contrast to equilibrium phase diagrams, TTT diagrams account for nonequilibrium cooling rates. They indicate that at higher temperatures, pearlite forms with slow cooling, while faster cooling produces bainite or martensite. The document includes an example TTT diagram for eutectoid steel and explains how isothermal experiments at different temperatures are used to construct these diagrams.
Crystal defects can be classified based on their geometry. Point defects are zero-dimensional and include vacancies, interstitials, and impurities. Line defects are one-dimensional dislocations such as edge and screw dislocations. Surface defects are two-dimensional and include grain boundaries and stacking faults. Volume defects are three-dimensional such as cracks, voids, and inclusions. Real crystals always contain imperfections that influence material properties. Understanding crystal defects is important for both analyzing material behavior and developing techniques to minimize their impact.
1) Proper design of the gating system is important for solidification and depends on factors like mold geometry, metal flow, and heat transfer.
2) The gating system includes components like the sprue, runner, and ingate and is designed based on principles of fluid flow like Bernoulli's theorem and the law of continuity.
3) Risers are used to prevent shrinkage voids and their design must ensure the riser remains molten until solidification is complete to feed the casting. The size and placement of risers depends on properties of the casting like its shape and surface area to volume ratio.

Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating subunits called monomers. They can be natural or synthetic. Common synthetic polymers include plastics, nylon, and latex. Polymers are used in many applications because they are lightweight, strong, and inexpensive. They consist of long chains of monomers that can interact through entanglement and cross-linking to form durable materials.
Ultrasonic testing uses high frequency sound waves to detect surface and subsurface defects. It can be used to inspect thick sections non-destructively. There are different modes of wave propagation including longitudinal, transverse, surface waves and Lamb waves. Factors like frequency, penetration depth and scattering affect ultrasonic testing. It is widely used in manufacturing and service industries to inspect welds and structural metals.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

CRYSTAL DEFECTS AND IMPERFECTIONS
An ideal crystal is a perfect crystal in which each atom
has identical surroundings. Real crystals are not perfect.
A real crystal always has a large number of
imperfections in the lattice.
Since real crystals are of finite size, they have a surface
to their boundary.
At the boundary, atomic bonds terminate and hence the
surface itself is an imperfection.
One can reduce crystal defects considerably, but can
never eliminate them entirely.
4. 4
CRYSTAL DEFECTS AND IMPERFECTIONS
The study of imperfections has a two fold purpose, namely,
A better understanding of crystals and how they affect the
properties of metals.
Exploration of possibilities of minimizing or eliminating these
defects.
The term “defect” or “imperfection” is generally used to
describe any deviation from the perfect periodic array of
atoms in the crystal.
5. 5
CRYSTAL DEFECTS AND IMPERFECTIONS
Crystal imperfections can be classified on the basis of their
geometry as,
Point Imperfections,
Line imperfections
Surface (or) plane imperfections and
Volume imperfections
6. 6
POINT IMPERFECTIONS
They are imperfect point- like regions, one or two
atomic diameters in size and hence referred to as
‘zero dimensional imperfections’.
There are different kinds of point imperfections.
VACANCIES
If an atom is missing from its normal site in the
matrix, the defect is called a vacancy defect.
It may be a single vacancy, divacancy or a trivacancy.
8. 8
POINT IMPERFECTIONS
In metals vacancies and created by thermal excitation.
When the temperature is sufficiently high, as the atoms vibrate
around their regular positions, some acquire enough energy to leave
the site completely.
When the regular atom leaves, a vacancy is created.
A pair of one cation and one anion can be missed from an ionic
crystal.Such a pair of vacant ion sites is called Schottky imperfection.
This type of defect is dominant in alkali halides.
10. 10
SUBSTITUTIONAL IMPURITY
It refers to a foreign atom that substitutes for or
replaces a parent atom in the crystal.
Pentavalent or trivalent impurity atoms doped
in Silicon or Germanium are also substitutional
impurities in the crystal.
12. 12
INTERSTITIAL IMPURITY
An interstitial defect arises when an atom occupies a
definite position in the lattice that is not normally occupied
in the perfect crystal.
In crystals, packing density is always less than 1.
If a small sized atom occupies the void space in the parent
crystal without disturbing the parent atoms from their
regular sites, then it is called as ‘interstitial impurity’.
14. 14
INTERSTITIAL IMPURITY
In ionic crystals, an ion displaced from a regular site to an
interstitial site is called ‘Frenkel imperfection’.
As cations are generally the smaller ones, it is possible for
them to get displaced into the void space.
Anions do not get displaced as the void space is too small
compared to the size of the anions.
A Frenkel imperfection does not change the overall electrical
neutrality of the crystal. This type of defect occurs in silver
halides and CaF2.
16. 16
ELECTRONIC DEFECTS
Errors in charge distribution in solids are called
‘electronic defects’.
These defects are produced when the composition of
an ionic crystal does not correspond to the exact
stoichiometric formula.
These defects are free to move in the crystal under
the influence of an electric field.
17. 17
EFFECT OF POINT IMPERFECTIONS
The presence of a point imperfection introduces distortions in
the crystal.
In the case of impurity atom, because of its difference in size,
elastic strains are created in the regions surrounding the
impurity atom.
All these factors tend to increase the potential energy of the
crystal called ‘enthalpy’.
The work done for the creation of such a point defect is called
the ‘enthalpy of formation’ of the point imperfection.
18. 18
LINE IMPERFECTIONS
The defects, which take place due to dislocation or
distortion of atoms along a line, in some direction are
called as ‘line defects’.
Line defects are also called dislocations. In the geometic
sense, they may be called as ‘one dimensional defects’.
A dislocation may be defined as a disturbed region
between two substantially perfect parts of a crystal.
It is responsible for the phenomenon of slip by which
most metals deform plastically.
21. 21
EDGE DISLOCATION
In perfect crystal, atoms are arranged in both vertical and
horizontal planes parallel to the side faces.
If one of these vertical planes does not extend to the full
length, but ends in between within the crystal it is called ‘edge
dislocation’.
In the perfect crystal, just above the edge of the incomplete
plane the atoms are squeezed and are in a state of compression.
Just below the edge of the incomplete plane, the atoms are
pulled apart and are in a state of tension.
22. 22
The distorted configuration extends all along the edge into the
crystal.
Thus as the region of maximum distortion is centered around
the edge of the incomplete plane, this distortion represents a line
imperfection and is called an edge dislocation.
Edge dislocations are represented by ‘’ or ‘‘ depending on
whether the incomplete plane starts from the top or from the
bottom of the crystal.
These two configurations are referred to as positive and
negative edge dislocations respectively.
EDGE DISLOCATION
27. 27
BURGERS VECTOR
The magnitude and the
direction of the displacement are
defined by a vector, called the
Burgers Vector.
In figure (a), starting from the
point P, we go up by 6 steps, then
move towards right by 5 steps,
move down by 6 steps and finally
move towards left by 5 steps to
reach the starting point P.Now the
Burgers circuit gets closed.
When the same operation is
performed on the defect crystal
(figure (b)) we end up at Q
instead of the starting point.
29. 29
BURGERS VECTOR
So, we have to move an extra step to return to P, in order to close
the Burgers circuit.
The magnitude and the direction of the step defines the Burgers
Vector (BV).
The Burgers Vector is perpendicular to the edge dislocation line.
30. 30
SCREW DISLOCATION
In this dislocation, the atoms
are displaced in two separate
planes perpendicular to each
other.
It forms a spiral ramp around
the dislocation.
The Burgers Vector is parallel
to the screw dislocation line.
Speed of movement of a screw
dislocation is lesser compared to
edge dislocation. Normally, the
real dislocations in the crystals
are the mixtures of edge and
screw dislocation.
57. • The stress required to cause the dislocation to move increases exponentially with
the length of the Burgers vector. Thus, the slip direction should have a small
repeat distance or high linear density. The close-packed directions in metals and
alloys satisfy this criterion and are the usual slip directions.
• The stress required to cause the dislocation to move decreases exponentially with
the interplanar spacing of the slip planes. Slip occurs most easily between planes
of atoms that are smooth (so there are smaller ‘‘hills and valleys’’ on the surface)
and between planes that are far apart (or have a relatively large interplanar
spacing). Planes with a high planar density fulfill this requirement. Therefore the
slip planes are typically close-packed planes or those as closely packed as possible.
• Dislocations do not move easily in materials such as silicon or polymers, which
have covalent bonds. Because of the strength and directionality of the bonds, the
materials typically fail in a brittle manner before the force becomes high enough
to cause appreciable slip. In many engineering polymers dislocations play a
relatively minor role in their deformation.
• Materials with ionic bonding, including many ceramics such as MgO, also are
resistant to slip. Movement of a dislocation disrupts the charge balance around
the anions and cations, requiring that bonds between anions and cations be
broken. During slip, ions with a like charge must also pass close together, causing
repulsion. Finally, the repeat distance along the slip direction, or the Burgers
vector, is larger than that in metals and alloys. 57
58. 58
SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS
Surface imperfections arise from a change in the stacking
of atomic planes on or across a boundary.
The change may be one of the orientations or of the
stacking sequence of atomic planes.
In geometric concept, surface imperfections are two-
dimensional. They are of two types external and internal
surface imperfections.
59. 59
EXTERNAL SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS
They are the imperfections represented by a boundary. At the
boundary the atomic bonds are terminated.
The atoms on the surface cannot be compared with the atoms
within the crystal. The reason is that the surface atoms have
neighbours on one side only. Where as the atoms inside the crystal
have neighbours on either sides. This is shown in figure in next
slide. Since these surface atoms are not surrounded by others,
they possess higher energy than that of internal atoms.
For most metals, the energy of the surface atoms is of the order
of 1 J/m2.
61. 61
INTERNAL SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS
Internal surface imperfections are the imperfections which
occurred inside a crystal.
It is caused by the defects such as, grain boundaries. tilt
boundaries, twin boundaries and stacking faults.
62. 62
GRAIN BOUNDARIES
They are the imperfections which separate crystals or grains of
different orientation in a poly crystalline solid during nucleation or
crystallization.
It is a two dimensional imperfection. During crystallization, new
crystals form in different parts and they are randomly oriented with
respect to one another.
They grow and impinge on each other.
The atoms held in between are attracted by crystals on either side
and depending on the forces, the atoms occupy equilibrium
positions.
63. 63
GRAIN BOUNDARIES
These positions at the boundary region between two crystals
are distorted.As a result, a region of transition exists in which
the atomic packing is imperfect.
The thickness of this region is 2 to 10 or more atomic
diameters.
The boundary region is called a crystal boundary or a grain
boundary .
The boundary between two crystals which have different
crystalline arrangements or different compositions, is called as
interphase boundary or commonly an interface.
65. 65
TILT BOUNDARIES
This is called low-angle boundary as the orientation
difference between two neighbouring crystals is less than 10°.
The disruption in the boundary is not so severe as in the
high-angle boundary. In general low-angle boundaries can be
described by suitable arrays of dislocation.
Actually a low-angle tilt boundary is composed of edge
dislocation lying one above the other
The angle or tilt will be
where b = Burgers vector and
D = the average vertical distance between dislocations.
D
b
67. 67
TWIN BOUNDARIES
If the atomic arrangement on one side of a boundary is a
mirror reflection of the arrangement on the other side, then it is
called as twin boundary.
As they occur in pair, they are called twin boundaries. At one
boundary, orientation of atomic arrangement changes.
At another boundary, it is restored back. The region between
the pair of boundaries is called the twinned region.
These boundaries are easily identified under an optical
microscope.
69. 69
STACKING FAULTS
Whenever the stacking of atomic planes is not in a proper
sequence throughout the crystal, the fault caused is known as
stacking fault.
For example, the stacking sequence in an ideal FCC crystal
may be described as A-B-C-A-B-C- A-B-C-……. But the
stacking fault may change the sequence to A-B-C-A-B-A-B-A-
B-C. The region in which the stacking fault occurs (A-B-A-B)
forms a thin region and it becomes HCP.
This thin region is a surface imperfection and is called a
stacking fault.
71. 71
VOLUME IMPERFECTIONS
Volume defects such as cracks may arise in crystals when
there is only small electrostatic dissimilarity between the
stacking sequences of close packed planes in metals. Presence
of a large vacancy or void space, when cluster of atoms are
missed is also considered as a volume imperfection.
Foreign particle inclusions and non crystalline regions which
have the dimensions of the order of 0.20 nm are also called as
volume imperfections.
