* Suranaree University of Technology May-Aug 2007 Concept of crystal geometry There are three basic types of crystal structures in metals; Body centre cubic (bcc) Face centre cubic (fcc) Hexagonal close packed (hcp) z y x x z y a1 a2 a3 Corners = 1/8 x 8 = 1 atom Centre = 1 atom Total atoms = 2 atoms Corners = 1/8 x 8 = 1 atom Faces = 1/2 x 6 = 3 atoms Total atoms = 4 atoms Corners = 1/6 x 6 = 1 atom Centre = 1 atom Total atoms = 2 atoms Ex: a - Fe, Ta, Cr, Mo, W Ex: Al, Cu, Pb, Au, Ni Ex: a - Ti , Zn, Mg, Cd Suranaree University of Technology May-Aug 2007 Close packed structures FCC and HCP structures ? close-packed structures APF = 0.74, BCC structure has APF = 0.68 Simple cubic unit has APF = 0.52. (a) Close-packed plane stacking ABC (b) Close-packed plane stacking AB Close-packed plane stacking sequence of FCC structure. ABCABC ? {111} plane. Close-packed plane stacking sequence of HCP structure. ABAB ? (1000) basal plane. (111) plane (1000) basal plane Suranaree University of Technology May-Aug 2007 Slip planes Slip /wiki/Plasticity_(physics) Body centre cubic (bcc) Face centre cubic (fcc) Hexagonal close packed (hcp) x z y a3 a1 a2 z y x Shear stress 500 x Straight slip lines in copper Dislocation movement can be considered analogous to the distortion produced in a deck of cards. Plastic deformation is confined to the low-index planes, which has higher density of atom per unit area (most widely spaced planes) Suranaree University of Technology May-Aug 2007 Hardness measurement Nitrided part Hardness tests can be used for many engineering applications to achieve the basic requirement of mechanical property. For examples ? surface treatments where surface hardness has been much improved. ? Powder metallurgy ? Fabricated parts: forgings, rolled plates, extrusions, machined parts. Hardness variation of nitrided part
