Example: Vacancy Conc.

Design a heat treatment that will provide 1000 times more vacancies in copper than are normally present at room temperature. About 20,000 cal/mol are required to produce a vacancy in copper.

Point Defects in Alloys

  • Alloy = A metallic substance that is

composed of two or more elements.

Two outcomes if impurities (B) added to host (A):

1. Solid solution 2. New second phase

Solvent = element present in the greatest amount Solute = element present in a minor concentration

Point Defects in Alloys (con.)

Second phase particle

  • -different composition
  • -often different structure.

Substitutional alloy (e.g., Cu in Ni) Interstitial alloy (e.g., C in Fe)

Defects in Ceramic Structures

  • Frenkel Defect
  • -a cation is out of place.
  • Shottky Defect
  • -a paired set of cation and anion vacancies.

Linear Defects

  • Dislocations:

– one-dimensional defect around which some of the atoms are misaligned – cause slip between crystal plane when they move (along the close packed direction) – produce permanent (plastic) deformation. Schematic of a Zinc crystal (HCP):

  • before deformation
  • after tensile elongation

Dislocations & Crystal Structure

  • Structure: close-packed

planes & directions are preferred.

  • Comparison among crystal structures:

FCC: many close-packed planes/directions; HCP: only one plane, 3 directions; BCC: none

Interfacial Defects

Grain boundaries:

  • are boundaries between crystals.
  • are produced by the solidification process, for example.
  • have a change in crystal orientation across them.
  • impede dislocation motion.
