Engineering 45 Dislocations &Strengthening (2) Bruce Mayer, PE Registered Electrical & Mechanical EngineerBMayer@ChabotCollege.edu
Learning Goals • Understand Why DISLOCATIONS observed primarily in METALS and ALLOYS • Determine How are Strength and Dislocation Motion Related • Techniques to Increase Strength • Understand How can HEATING and/or Cooling change strength and other properties Last Time
2-Phase Metal Strengthening • Last Time Studied SINGLE-Phase (ONE Xtal Structure) Strengthening • Grain Size Reduction • Solid Solution Alloying • Strain Hardening • This Time Examine TWO Phase (2) Strengthening by the Formation of Solid Precipitates • a.k.a., Precipitation Hardening
Adjustment of Alloy Composition and/or Processing can Produce a (more or less) Uniform Distribution of Small 2nd Phase Particles (Precipitates) within the Base-Alloy matrix Strengthen-4 → Precipitates CuAl2 Precipitates Within an Al Matrix
Hard Precipitates are Difficult to shear Ex: Ceramics in Metals (SiC in Iron or Aluminum) precipitate Large shear stress needed Side View to move dislocation toward precipitate and shear it.

New crystals are formed that have a much smaller dislocation density Are Small in Physical Size Relative to Existing Xtals Are More Energetically Favorable than CW Xtals ReCrystallization 0.6 mm 0.6 mm 33% cold worked brass New crystals nucleate after 3 sec. at 580C.
All cold-worked crystals are consumed by the New Crystals ReCrystallization cont 0.6 mm 0.6 mm After 8 seconds After 4 seconds
At Longer Times Some of the NEW Xtals consume OTHER NEW Xtals Grain Boundaries are Hi-Energy Regions, Thus Their Reduction is Thermodynamically Favored Grain Growth 0.6 mm 0.6 mm After 8 s, 580C After 15 min, 580C
Many Metals Follow This Grain Growth Reln Grain Growth Quantified • Where • d Grain Size (m) • t Time (s) • d0 BaseLine Grain Size at t = 0 (m) • K Slope Constant (mn/s) • n Power Constant (unitless)
Summary • Dislocations are Observed Primarily in Metals And Alloys • Metal/Alloy Strength Is Increased By Making Dislocation Motion Difficult • Techniques to increase strength • Decrease Grain Size • Solid Solution Lattice Straining • Cold Work to Increase Dislocation Density • Precipitates to Impede Dislocation Motion
Summary cont. • Post-CW Heating (annealing) can reduce Dislocation density and increase grain size • Anneal Process Time-Phases • Recovery • ReCrystallization • Grain Growth
