Three simple lattices that describe metals are Face Centered Cubic FCC Body Centered Cubic BCC and Hexagonal Close Packed HCP Diamond, BeO and GaAs are examples of FCC structures with two atoms per lattice point 23 ? Most engineering materials are polycrystals. ? Nb-Hf-W plate with an electron beam weld. ? Each grain is a single crystal. ? If crystals are randomly oriented, overall component properties are not directional. ? Crystal sizes typ. range from 1 nm to 2 cm i.e., from a few to millions of atomic layers .
