True or false questions (1 point each) - (Mark the correct answer) ----------------------------------- [10] a. An edge dislocation glides perpendicular to itself (its line). ---------------------- True or false

b. A sessile dislocation can move easily under an applied stress. ------------------- True or false c. Like screw dislocations repel each other. ------------------------------------------ True or false or false

d. Dislocations with large width glide easily compared to narrow dislocations. - True e. A dislocation pinned between 2 points remains to be semicircular (radius of curvature is half the pinning distance) under no force. ----- --------- True f. Frank partials in fcc with b=3 <111> are sessile dislocations. -------------------- True g. A prismatic loop has Burgers vector perpendicular to the plane of the loop and thus can glide in that plane under an applied shear stress. ------------------ True h. A screw dislocation glides perpendicular to itself (its line). ---------------------- True i. An edge dislocation may change its glide plane by cross slip.-------------------- True j. Shockley partials in fcc with their Burger's vectors lying in {111} planes are glissile dislocations. ------------------------------------------------------------------- True 2.

Consider two unit dislocations, 1 and 2, in a Li (bcc) crystal gliding on intersecting planes (101) and (10 1 ) respectively (see the figure below / same figure is included in the last page also). a a Here, b1 = 2 [ 1 1 1] and b2 = 2 [111]. (101) The two dislocations come together and react to result in one dislocation (b3).

b. Show that the reaction is valid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [3]

c. What is the line vector [hkl] of the dislocation 3?----------------------------------------------------------- [3]

4. a. What is the force per unit length on an edge dislocation lying along z-axis with Burgers vector along x-axis under hydrostatic [i.e., ij = ij] stress? ---------------------------------------------------- [5]

b. Describe (very briefly) how the dislocation may move along the direction of the force. ------------- [2]

A Li (bcc) alloy is deformed at a strain-rate of 10-3 s-1. If the dislocation density was measured to be 1010 cm-2, what would be the average dislocation velocity? ----------------------------------------- [3]

6.

A screw dislocation with Burgers vector along [1 1 0] lies in the (111) plane in a copper (fcc) sample. What is the magnitude (in cm) of the Burgers vector of the screw dislocation? ------------- [2] Is this dislocation a perfect dislocation or a partial dislocation? ------------------------------------------ [2]
