Questions? • Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.): • Often metallurgist want to know how many atoms are shared in any unit cell (e.g. face centered cubic unit cell). • The atoms located on the face share ½ with one cell and ½ with the other • How much of a corner atom is shared in each cell? • Adding up all the “partial atoms” how many atoms are there per unit cell in a face centered cubic structure? • In a BCC structure?
Imperfections in Crystals • Point - Vacancies & Alloys • Line - Dislocations • Surface - Grain Boundaries
Edge Dislocation Force
Demonstration Also take some time tonight to link to the “Dislocation-Atom interaction during deformation” Demonstration found on the Demonstration Page of the WE300 Website
Grain Boundaries Metals & How to Weld Them, Lincoln Foundation, 1954
Questions? • Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.): • A grain boundary is the place where a crystal with atoms all aligned in one direction meets another crystal with atoms aligned in some other direction with a real mismatch at the boundary. This boundary can be thought of as a tangled mess of dislocations. What happens when a dislocation within one of the grains has a force applied and it moves into the boundary tangle?

Questions? • Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.): • If we take a glass of warm water and start to dissolve sugar in it, and keep adding sugar until no more dissolves, what happens? If we heat it a little more what happens? • If we take warm steel in the austenite phase (say at 1700F) and dissolve carbon in it, and keep adding carbon until no more dissolves, what happens? If we heat it to 2200F what happens?

Demonstration Please click on the “Pearlite Growth” Demonstration on the Demonstration Page of the WE300 Website
Questions? • Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.): • As the pearlite forms from the very slow cooling from the austenite, carbon atoms must diffuse to make the lathes. What happens if we cool a little faster thus not giving enough time for the carbon to diffuse the complete width of the lathes?
Fine Pearlite Shorter Time Lower Temp Bainite Martensite
Questions? • Turn to the person sitting next to you and discuss (1 min.): • In the hot water in which we added the maximum amoount of sugar in the earlier question, we now let it cool, what happens? • In austenite steel where we cooled it fast and the carbon did not have a chance to get out but rather formed a supersaturated solution, what happens if we just let it set at room temperature? What happens if we heat it up just a little.
