Dislocation Mechanics, Strengthening and Heat Treatment of Metals
Dislocation Types and Partial Dislocations
1. Dislocation types
Partial dislocations — FCC
Frank’s rule → Combination: b1 + b2 → b3. Dissociation: b1 → b2 + b3.
Shockley partials → Energetically favorable when b1^2 + … (b^2 = a^2(u^2 + v^2 + w^2)).
They create stacking faults in FCC (ABCABC) which locally transform the stacking toward HCP (ABABAB).
Sessile dislocations →
- Immobile; Burgers vector b is not in the fault plane.
- Only move by diffusion (climb) and are unlikely to move at low temperature.
