  2. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    Twinning and slip are competitive mechanisms for crystal deformation. Each mechanism is dominant in certain crystal systems and under certain conditions. [23] In fcc metals, slip is almost always dominant because the stress required is far less than twinning stress. [24] Twinning can occur by cooperative displacement of atoms along the face of ...

  3. Stacking-fault energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking-fault_energy

    The two primary methods of deformation in metals are slip and twinning. Slip occurs by dislocation glide of either screw or edge dislocations within a slip plane. Slip is by far the most common mechanism. Twinning is less common but readily occurs under some circumstances. Twinning occurs when there are not enough slip systems to accommodate ...

  4. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    A slip system describes the set of symmetrically identical slip planes and associated family of slip directions for which dislocation motion can easily occur and lead to plastic deformation. The magnitude and direction of slip are represented by the Burgers vector , b .

  5. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasticity_(physics)

    Plasticity in a crystal of pure metal is primarily caused by two modes of deformation in the crystal lattice: slip and twinning. Slip is a shear deformation which moves the atoms through many interatomic distances relative to their initial positions.

  6. Slip bands in metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_bands_in_metals

    The deformation field at the slip-band is due to three-dimensional elastic and plastic strains where the concentrated shear of the slip band tip deforms the grain in its vicinity. The elastic strains describe the stress concentration ahead of the slip band , which is important as it can affect the transfer of plastic deformation across grain ...

  7. Deformation mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_mechanism

    Sample deformation mechanism map for a hypothetical material. Here there are three main regions: plasticity, power law creep, and diffusional flow. A deformation mechanism map is a way of representing the dominant deformation mechanism in a material loaded under a given set of conditions. The technique is applicable to all crystalline materials ...

  8. Zirconium alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium_alloys

    They found that T1 twinning was the dominant slip system at room temperature for strain rates between 10 −3 and 10 3 s −1. The basal slip did not contribute to deformation below 400°C. Twinning was found to be rate insensitive, and the rate sensitivity of slip could explain changes in twinning behaviour as a function of strain rate.

  9. Schmid's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmid's_Law

    In materials science, Schmid's law (also Schmid factor [a]) describes the slip plane and the slip direction of a stressed material, which can resolve the most shear stress. ...
