CHAPTER 7
DISLOCATIONS AND STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS
PROBLEM SOLUTIONS
Basic Concepts of Dislocations
Characteristics of Dislocations
7.1 The dislocation density is just the total dislocation length per unit volume of material (in this case per
cubic millimeters). Thus, the total length in 1000 mm3 of material having a density of 105 mm-2 is just
(105 mm-2)(1000 mm3) = 108 mm = 105 m = 62 mi
Similarly, for a dislocation density of 109 mm-2, the total length is
(109 mm-2)(1000 mm3) = 1012 mm = 109 m = 6.2 x 105 mi

7.4 For the various dislocation types, the relationships between the direction of the applied shear stress and
the direction of dislocation line motion are as follows:
edge dislocation--parallel
screw dislocation--perpendicular
mixed dislocation--neither parallel nor perpendicular

Slip Systems
7.5 (a) A slip system is a crystallographic plane, and, within that plane, a direction along which
dislocation motion (or slip) occurs.
(b) All metals do not have the same slip system. The reason for this is that for most metals, the slip system
will consist of the most densely packed crystallographic plane, and within that plane the most closely packed
direction. This plane and direction will vary from crystal structure to crystal structure.

7.9 This problem asks that we compute the magnitudes of the Burgers vectors for copper and iron. For
Cu, which has an FCC crystal structure, R = 0.1278 nm (Table 3.1) and a = 2R
2 = 0.3615 nm (Equation 3.1);
also, from Equation 7.1a, the Burgers vector for FCC metals is
b = a
2 〈110〉
Therefore, the values for u, v, and w in Equation 7.10 are 1, 1, and 0, respectively. Hence, the magnitude of the
Burgers vector for Cu is
b = a
2
u2 + v2 + w2
= 0.3615 nm
2
(1 )2 + (1 )2 + (0)2 = 0.2556 nm
For Fe which has a BCC crystal structure, R = 0.1241 nm (Table 3.1) and
a = 4R
3 = 0.2866 nm (Equation
3.3); also, from Equation 7.1b, the Burgers vector for BCC metals is
b = a
2 〈111〉
Therefore, the values for u, v, and w in Equation 7.10 are 1, 1, and 1, respectively. Hence, the magnitude of the
Burgers vector for Fe is
b = 0.2866 nm
2
(1)2 + (1)2 + (1)2 = 0.2482 nm

7.10 (a) This part of the problem asks that we specify the Burgers vector for the simple cubic crystal
structure (and suggests that we consult the answer to Concept Check 7.1). This Concept Check asks that we select
the slip system for simple cubic from four possibilities. The correct answer is 100
{
} 010 . Thus, the Burgers
vector will lie in a 010 -type direction. Also, the unit slip distance is a (i.e., the unit cell edge length, Figures 4.3
and 7.1). Therefore, the Burgers vector for simple cubic is
b = a 010
Or, equivalently
b = a 100
(b) The magnitude of the Burgers vector, |b|, for simple cubic is
b = a(12 + 02 + 02)1/ 2 = a

Slip in Single Crystals
7.11 We are asked to compute the Schmid factor for an FCC crystal oriented with its [120] direction
parallel to the loading axis. With this scheme, slip may occur on the (111) plane and in the [011 ] direction as noted
in the figure below.
The angle between the [120] and [011 ] directions, λ, may be determined using Equation 7.6

where (for [120]) u1 = 1, v1 = 2, w1 = 0, and (for [011 ]) u2 = 0, v2 = 1, w2 = -1. Therefore, λ is equal to

Now, the angle φ is equal to the angle between the normal to the (111) plane (which is the [111] direction), and the
[120] direction. Again from Equation 7.6, and for u1 = 1, v1 = 1, w1 = 1, u2 = 1, v2 = 2, and w2 = 0, we have

7.12 This problem calls for us to determine whether or not a metal single crystal having a specific
orientation and of given critical resolved shear stress will yield. We are given that φ = 60°, λ = 35°, and that the
values of the critical resolved shear stress and applied tensile stress are 6.2 MPa (900 psi) and 12 MPa (1750 psi),
respectively. From Equation 7.2
τR = σ cos φ cos λ = (12 MPa)(cos 60°)(cos 35°) = 4.91 MPa (717 psi)
Since the resolved shear stress (4.91 MPa) is less that the critical resolved shear stress (6.2 MPa), the single crystal
will not yield.
However, from Equation 7.4, the stress at which yielding occurs is
σ y =
τcrss
cos φ cos λ =
6.2 MPa
(cos 60°)(cos 35°) = 15.1 MPa
(2200 psi)

7.13 We are asked to compute the critical resolved shear stress for Zn. As stipulated in the problem, φ =
65°, while possible values for λ are 30°, 48°, and 78°.
(a) Slip will occur along that direction for which (cos φ cos λ) is a maximum, or, in this case, for the
largest cos λ. Cosines for the possible λ values are given below.
cos(30°) = 0.87
cos(48°) = 0.67
cos(78°) = 0.21
Thus, the slip direction is at an angle of 30° with the tensile axis.
(b) From Equation 7.4, the critical resolved shear stress is just
τcrss = σ y (cos φ cos λ)max
= (2.5 MPa) cos(65°) cos(30°)
[
] = 0.90 MPa (130 psi)

7.14 This problem asks that we compute the critical resolved shear stress for nickel. In order to do this,
we must employ Equation 7.4, but first it is necessary to solve for the angles λ and φ which are shown in the sketch
below.
The angle λ is the angle between the tensile axis—i.e., along the [001] direction—and the slip direction—i.e.,
[1 01]. The angle λ may be determined using Equation 7.6 as

where (for [001]) u1 = 0, v1 = 0, w1 = 1, and (for [1 01]) u2 = –1, v2 = 0, w2 = 1. Therefore, λ is equal to

(111) plane; for this case this normal is along a [111] direction. Therefore, again using Equation 7.6

7.15 This problem asks that, for a metal that has the FCC crystal structure, we compute the applied
stress(s) that are required to cause slip to occur on a (111) plane in each of the [11 0], [101 ], and [01 1] directions.
In order to solve this problem it is necessary to employ Equation 7.4, but first we need to solve for the for λ and φ
angles for the three slip systems.
For each of these three slip systems, the φ will be the same—i.e., the angle between the direction of the
applied stress, [100] and the normal to the (111) plane, that is, the [111] direction. The angle φ may be determined

where (for [100]) u1 = 1, v1 = 0, w1 = 0, and (for [111]) u2 = 1, v2 = 1, w2 = 1. Therefore, φ is equal to

Let us now determine λ for the [11 0] slip direction. Again, using Equation 7.6 where u1 = 1, v1 = 0, w1 = 0 (for
[100]), and u2 = 1, v2 = –1, w2 = 0 (for [11 0]. Therefore, λ is determined as
λ[100]−[11 0] = cos−1

0.5 MPa
cos (54.7°) cos (45°) =
0.5 MPa
(0.578) (0.707) = 1.22 MPa
Now, we must determine the value of λ for the (111)– [101 ] slip system—that is, the angle between the
[100] and [101 ] directions. Again using Equation 7.6
λ[100]−[101 ] = cos−1

Thus, since the values of φ and λ for this (111)– [101 ] slip system are the same as for (111)– [11 0], so also will σy
be the same—viz 1.22 MPa.
And, finally, for the (111)– [01 1] slip system, λ is computed using Equation 7.6 as follows:
λ[100]−[01 1] = cos−1

(cosφ cos λ)
=
0.5 MPa
cos (54.7°) cos (90°) = 0.5 MPa
(0.578) (0) = ∞
which means that slip will not occur on this (111)– [01 1] slip system.

7.16 (a) This part of the problem asks, for a BCC metal, that we compute the resolved shear stress in the
[11 1] direction on each of the (110), (011), and (101 ) planes. In order to solve this problem it is necessary to
employ Equation 7.2, which means that we first need to solve for the for angles λ and φ for the three slip systems.
For each of these three slip systems, the λ will be the same—i.e., the angle between the direction of the
applied stress, [100] and the slip direction, [11 1]. This angle λ may be determined using Equation 7.6

and the normal to the (110) slip plane—i.e., the [110] direction. Again, using Equation 7.6 where u1 = 1, v1 = 0, w1

τR(110)−[11 1] = (4.0 MPa) cos (45°) cos (54.7°)
[

Now, we must determine the value of φ for the (011)– [11 1] slip system—that is, the angle between the
direction of the applied stress, [100], and the normal to the (011) plane—i.e., the [011] direction. Again using

[
] = (4.0 MPa) (0)(0.578) = 0 MPa
And, finally, it is necessary to determine the value of φ for the (101 )– [11 1] slip system —that is, the
angle between the direction of the applied stress, [100], and the normal to the (101 ) plane—i.e., the [101 ]

(b) The most favored slip system(s) is (are) the one(s) that has (have) the largest τR value. Both (110)–
[11 1] and (101 ) −[11 1] slip systems are most favored since they have the same τR (1.63 MPa), which is greater
than the τR value for (011) −[11 1] (viz., 0 MPa).

is applied along a [121] direction such that slip occurs on a (101) plane and in a [1 11] direction; the critical
resolved shear stress for this metal is 2.4 MPa. To solve this problem we use Equation 7.4; however it is first
necessary to determine the values of φ and λ. These determinations are possible using Equation 7.6. Now, λ is the
angle between [121] and [1 11] directions. Therefore, relative to Equation 7.6 let us take u1 = 1, v1 = 2, and w1 =
1, as well as u2 = –1, v2 = 1, and w2 = 1. This leads to
λ = cos−1

Now for the determination of φ, the normal to the (101) slip plane is the [101] direction. Again using Equation 7.6,
where we now take u1 = 1, v1 = 2, w1 = 1 (for [121]), and u2 = 1, v2 = 0, w2 = 1 (for [101]). Thus,

7.18 In order to determine the maximum possible yield strength for a single crystal of Cu pulled in tension,
we simply employ Equation 7.5 as
σ y = 2τcrss = (2)(0.48 MPa) = 0.96 MPa (140 psi)

Deformation by Twinning
7.19 Four major differences between deformation by twinning and deformation by slip are as follows: (1)
with slip deformation there is no crystallographic reorientation, whereas with twinning there is a reorientation; (2)
for slip, the atomic displacements occur in atomic spacing multiples, whereas for twinning, these displacements may
be other than by atomic spacing multiples; (3) slip occurs in metals having many slip systems, whereas twinning
occurs in metals having relatively few slip systems; and (4) normally slip results in relatively large deformations,
whereas only small deformations result for twinning.

Strengthening by Grain Size Reduction
7.20 Small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle
grain boundaries because there is not as much crystallographic misalignment in the grain boundary region for small-
angle, and therefore not as much change in slip direction.

7.23 (a) Perhaps the easiest way to solve for σ0 and ky in Equation 7.7 is to pick two values each of σy
and d-1/2 from Figure 7.15, and then solve two simultaneous equations, which may be set up. For example
d-1/2 (mm) -1/2
σy (MPa)
4
75
12
175
The two equations are thus
75 = σ0 + 4k y
175 = σ0 + 12 k y
Solution of these equations yield the values of
k y = 12.5 MPa (mm)1/2
1810 psi(mm)1/2
[

σ0 = 25 MPa (3630 psi)
(b) When d = 2.0 x 10-3 mm, d-1/2 = 22.4 mm-1/2, and, using Equation 7.7,
σ y = σ0 + k yd-1/2
= (25 MPa) + 12.5 MPa (mm)

7.24 We are asked to determine the grain diameter for an iron which will give a yield strength of 310 MPa
(45,000 psi). The best way to solve this problem is to first establish two simultaneous expressions of Equation 7.7,
solve for σ0 and ky, and finally determine the value of d when σy = 310 MPa. The data pertaining to this problem
may be tabulated as follows:
σy
d (mm)
d-1/2 (mm)-1/2
230 MPa
1 x 10-2
10.0
275 MPa
6 x 10-3
12.91
The two equations thus become
230 MPa = σ0 + (10.0) k y
275 MPa = σ0 + (12.91) k y
Which yield the values, σ0 = 75.4 MPa and ky = 15.46 MPa(mm)1/2. At a yield strength of 310 MPa
310 MPa = 75.4 MPa + 15.46 MPa (mm)1/2
[
]d-1/2
or d-1/2 = 15.17 (mm)-1/2, which gives d = 4.34 x 10-3 mm.

7.25 This problem asks that we determine the grain size of the brass for which is the subject of Figure
7.19. From Figure 7.19(a), the yield strength of brass at 0%CW is approximately 175 MPa (26,000 psi). This yield
strength from Figure 7.15 corresponds to a d-1/2 value of approximately 12.0 (mm)-1/2. Thus, d = 6.9 x 10-3 mm.

Solid-Solution Strengthening
7.26 Below is shown an edge dislocation and where an interstitial impurity atom would be located.
Compressive lattice strains are introduced by the impurity atom. There will be a net reduction in lattice strain
energy when these lattice strains partially cancel tensile strains associated with the edge dislocation; such tensile
strains exist just below the bottom of the extra half-plane of atoms (Figure 7.4).
