Solidification & Crystalline Imperfections Chapter 4- Today’s Agenda Processing Structure Properties Ex: casting Atomic/Molecular St. Bond structure Crystal Structure Defect Structures Microstructure Energy Band Structure Mechanical Electrical Optical Thermal Magnetic Performance Cost Reliability Efficiency Service Life ... Melt SOLIDIFICATION Chapter 4- Solidification of Metals • The solidification of metals and alloys is an important industrial process since most metals are melted and then cast into semifinished of finished shape. • When molten alloys are cast, solidification starts at the wallls of the mold Chapter 4- 1. Solidification of Polycrystalline Material • Almost all engineering crystalline materials are composed of many crystals. • Two steps of solidification: 1. Nucleation: Formation of stable nuclei in the melt 2. Growth: Crystals grow until they meet each other Liquid Nuclei Crystals that will form grains Grains Grain boundaries Chapter 4- 2. Solidification of Single Crystals There are also materials that consist of only one crystal. Examples: • High-temperature creep-resistant gas turbine blades (At high temperatures, grain boundaries become weaker than the grain bodies) • Silicon single crystals for semiconductor devices. (Grain boundaries would disrupt the flow of electrons in devices) Chapter 4- 3. Metallic Solid Solutions • Most engineering metals are combined with other metals or nonmetals to provide increased strength, higher corrosion resistance or other desired properties «METAL ALLOY» • Simplest type of alloy = Solid Solution: A solid that consists of two or more elements atamically dispersed in a single-phase structure. Two types of solid solutions: Substitutional alloy (e.g., Cu in Ni) Interstitial alloy (e.g., C in Fe) OR Chapter 4- Conditions for Substitutional Solid Solutions • W. Hume – Rothery rule 1. r (atomic radius) < 15% 2. Proximity in periodic table • i.e., similar electronegativities 3. Same crystal structure for pure metals 4. Valency • All else being equal, a metal will have a greater tendency to dissolve a metal of higher valency than one of lower valency Chapter 4- Second Phase • While solute atoms are being added, new compounds / structures may form beyond solubility limit, or solute forms local PRECIPITATES. • Nature of the impurities, their concentration, reactivity, temperature and pressure, etc decides the formation of solid solution or a second phase. Solid solution of B in A plus particles of a new phase (usually for a larger amount of B) Second phase particle --different composition --often different structure. Chapter 4- CRYSTALLINE IMPERFECTIONS Why are we interested IMPERFECTIONS IN SOLIDS ? “Crystals are like people, it is the defects in them which tend to make them interesting!” - Colin Humphreys. Crystals in nature are never perfect, they have defects ! Chapter 4- 1 Imperfections in Solids Is it enough to know bonding and structure of materials to estimate their macro properties ? BONDING + STRUCTURE + DEFECTS PROPERTIES Color/Price of Precious Stones Mechanical Properties of Metals Properties of Semiconductors Corrosion of Metals Defects do have a significant impact on the properties of materials Chapter 4- Imperfections in Solids Bonding X’tal Structure Thermo-Mechanical Processing Atomic Composition Microstructure: Materials properties Addition and manipulation of defects Chapter 4- Perfection… In terms of: 1. Chemical composition – pure 2. Atomic arrangement – defect free • • • Both are critical in determining the performance of material. Real engineering materials are not perfect. Properties can be altered through defect engineering. 12 Chapter 4- Classification of Defects • • • • The defects are classified on the basis of dimensionality: 0-dimensional: point defects 1-dimensional: line defects 2-dimensional: interfacial defects 3-dimensional: bulk defects 13 Chapter 4- 0 dim: Point Defects - localized disruption in regularity of the lattice on and between lattice sites 3 Types: 1. Substitutional Impurity - occupies normal lattice site - dopant ☺, e.g., P in Si - contaminant Li+ in NaCl Interstitial 2. Interstitial Impurity - occupies position between lattice sites - alloying element ☺, e.g., C in Fe - contaminant, H in Fe 3. Vacancy - unoccupied lattice site - formed at time of crystallization Vacancy Substitutional Self-interstitial 14 Chapter 4- • Vacancies: POINT DEFECTS -vacant atomic/lattice sites in a structure. distortion of planes Vacancy • Self-Interstitials: -"extra" atoms positioned between atomic sites. distortion of planes selfinterstitial Chapter 4- 3 Population of vacancies in a crystal • In a crystal containing N atomic sites, the number nd of vacant sites: nd = the number of defects (in equilibrium at T) N = the total number of atomic sites per mole ΔHd = the energy necessary to form the defect T = the absolute temperature (K) k = the Boltzmann constant A = proportionality constant 16 Chapter 4- EQUIL.

Chapter 4- OBSERVING EQUIL. VACANCY CONC. • Low energy electron microscope view of a (110) surface of NiAl. • Increasing T causes surface island of atoms to grow. • Why? The equil. vacancy conc. increases via atom motion from the crystal to the surface, where they join the island. Reprinted with permission from Nature (K.F. McCarty, J.A. Nobel, and N.C.

Chapter 4- 1 Dimensional: Line Defects Dislocations • Dislocations are linear defects: the interatomic bonds are distorted only in the vicinity of the dislocation line. This area is called the dislocation core. • Dislocations also create small elastic deformations of the lattice at large distances. Chapter 4- 23 DISLOCATIONS •Material permanently deforms as dislocation moves through the crystal. • Bonds break and reform, but only along the dislocation line at any point in time, not along the whole plane at once. • Dislocation line separates slipped and unslipped material. Chapter 4- LINE DEFECTS Dislocations: • are line defects, • cause slip between crystal plane when they move, • produce permanent (plastic) deformation. Schematic of a Zinc Crystal (HCP): • before deformation • after tensile elongation slip steps Chapter 4- 11 Dislocations and Materials Strength Easily form dislocations and allow mobility; Not limited with coordination numbers Remember Covalent Bond !
