Influence of the lattice structure on ductility

Each type of lattice structure has a different number of slip systems (possibilities of sliding) and is therefore differently deformable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT7D8Ab93BE Slip system As explained in the article on Fundamentals of Deformation, a plastic deformation processes in...

Fundamentals of deformation

Deformation of metals is based on the shifting or sliding of atomic blocks. A distinction is made between elastic and plastic deformation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT7D8Ab93BE Introduction The relatively good deformability of metals (also referred to as...
