Plastic deformation
• It’s a deformation of a body which remains
even after removing the external load from
the body.
• In crystalline material deformation occur at a
temperature lower than 0.4Tm
Tm – melting point temp. of a material
• The plastic deformation may occur under the
tensile, compressive or torsional stresses.
.
• The property of Palstic deformation makes
the metal suitable for various forming
processes such as rolling , forging, pressing,
drawing, spinning, extrusion and stamping
Mechanism of plastic
deformation
.
MECHANISM OF PLASTIC DEFORMATION
• Plastic deformation is defined as a process in
which the object due to applied force changes its
size or shape in a way that is not reversible.
• Plastic deformation is seen in many objects,
including:
Slip
• Sliding of blocks of the crystal over one another along
definite crystallographic planes called slip planes
• i.e --- displacement of one part of
the crystal relative to another along
a particular plane and direction
The combination of slip plane and
slip direction is called slip system
Mechanism of slip
• When Shear stress applied exceeds the critical
value slip occur.
TWINNING
• The second important mechanism in the
metal deformation.
• Here the atoms in the part of a crystal
subjected to stress, rearrange themselves so
that one part of the crystal become the
mirror to the other.
.
Fracture
.
Fracture - definition
• Fracture is the mechanical failure of the material
which will produce the separation or
fragmentation of a solid into 2 or more parts
under the action of stress.
Brittle fracture
Ductile fracture
Fatigue fracture
Creep fracture
Brittle fracture
• Its a fracture which takes place by the rapid
propagation of crack with a negligible
deformation.
• Mostly amorphous material like glasses
having this kind of fractures.
Mechanism of
brittle
mechanism
.
• Now the tensile stress is applied at the both
sides of the material.
• So the stress is maximum at the tip of the crack
.
Griffith’s theory is applicable only for brittle fracture
.
The fracture which takes place by a slow propagation
of crack with appreciable plastic deformation.
DUCTILE FRACTURE
.
.
FATIGUE FRACTURE
• Failure occur due to repeated or
fluctuating load
Stress
Cycles

.
CREEP
• It’s a slow and permanent deformation in metal under
steady load at constant temperature.
.
Factors affecting creep
• Grain size
• Thermal stability of the micro- structure
• Chemical reactions
• Prior strain (cold working or work hardening)
Mechanism of creep fracture
(a) Dislocation climb
(b) Vacancy diffusion
( c ) grain boundary sliding

COMPRESSION TEST
Pure Shear force
• A pure shear force applied top and bottom parallel to its
faces
.
Shear stress,
Where, F = Shear force applied
A = Area of shear
Shear strain: The shear strain is defined as the
tangent of the strain angle θ.
Shear strain, γ = tan θ
Limitations of shear test
• Need attachment with UTM machine .
• Material at last gets bend
• So we will get the bending stress also, not the
pure shear type.
• Very difficult in processing
Torsion test
• Rotational force given to material about longitudinal axis.
• This torsional forces produce a rotational motion about
the longitudinal axis of one end of the member relative
to the other end.
HARDNESS TEST
Brinell Hardness
Vickers Hardness
Rockwell Hardness
Types of Hardness Test
Brinell hardness test
Standard loads range between 500 kg and 3000 kg in 500 kg increments.
During a test, the load is maintained constant for 10 to 15 seconds.
.
Vickers hardness test
High accuracy than brinell due to square based
diamond pyramid indenter
The Vickers hardness test method consists of
indenting the test material with a diamond indenter,
in the form of a right pyramid with a square base
and an angle of 136 degrees between opposite faces
subjected to a load of 1 to 100 kgf. The full load is
normally applied for 10 to 15 seconds.
.
.
Where
P = Applied load in kg,
θ = Angle between the opposite faces of diamond =
136°,
D = Mean diagonal length in mm.
Advantages
• The diagonals of the square indentation can be measured
more accurately than the diameters of the circles.
• This method is suitable for hard materials as well as for soft
materials.
• The Vickers indenter is capable of giving geometrically
similar impression with different loads. Thus, the hardness
number is independent of the load applied.
.
Rockwell hardness test
Industries used due to its high accuracy,
simplicity and rapidity
In this test , the dial gives the direct reading of
hardness; no need of measuring indentation
diameter or diagonal length using the microscope
.
Advantages
• Simple
• Reading taken directly
• Time consuming process
• Suitable for mass production
• We can measure any range of value with various
indenters.
• Metallic and also plastics used

Its not accurate than vickers test
