Properties of Metals

Metals are characterized by:
- High electrical conductivity.
- High thermal conductivity.
- High specific gravity.
- Ductility, allowing them to be formed.

Crystals and Crystal Structures

Crystals are essential in understanding materials at the atomic level.
Crystal structures influence the physical and mechanical properties of metals.

Allotropy

Some metals can exist in multiple structural forms based on temperature and pressure conditions.

Polycrystalline Materials

Composed of numerous crystal grains, affecting their overall strength and characteristics.

Dislocations

Fundamental defects in crystal structures affecting plastic deformation.
Types of dislocations include edge dislocations and screw dislocations.

Dislocation Multiplication

Dislocations can create more dislocations under stress, impacting yield strength.

Dislocation Locking

Occurs when dislocations become immobilized, enhancing material strength.

Solutions and Alloying

Solid solutions arise when one element is dissolved in another, impacting properties and performance.
Phases in materials refer to regions with consistent composition and structure.

Strengthening Methods

Work hardening increases strength through plastic deformation.
Solid solution strengthening involves solute atoms disrupting dislocation motion.
Strain aging enhances strength by rearranging dislocations.
Precipitation hardening strengthens materials through the formation of fine particles within the matrix.
Grain size strengthening improves properties by refining crystal grain sizes.

Solidification

Exploration of how metals solidify during cooling, influencing mechanical properties.
Factors like constitutional supercooling and weld metal solidification are critical for welding processes.

Chemical Effects

Porosity can occur due to gas entrapment in solidifying metal.
Fluxes are materials used in welding to prevent oxidation and improve joint quality.
