Study Notes
Dislocations and Slip Systems
- Dislocations exhibit different movement behaviors depending on the crystallographic plane and direction.
- Certain planes are identified as preferred slip planes, which allow for easier dislocation movement.
- Slip planes are characterized by a high planar density of atoms, facilitating dislocation motion.
- Preferred directions for dislocation movement are known as slip directions, identified by high linear density.
- A slip system is defined as the specific combination of a slip plane and a slip direction, crucial for understanding material deformation.
