STRENGTHENING STRATEGY 2:
SOLID SOLUTION STRENGTHENING
• Impurity atoms distort the lattice & generate stress.
• Stress can produce a barrier to dislocation motion.

MOTION/GENERATION
• Tensile loading (horizontal dir.) of a FCC metal with
notches in the top and bottom surface.
• Over 1 billion atoms modeled in 3D block.
• Note the large increase in disl. density.

DISLOCATION-DISLOCATION TRAPPING
• Dislocations generate stress.
• This traps other dislocations.
Red dislocation
generates shear at A
pts A and B that
opposes motion of
green disl. from
B
left to right.
IMPACT OF COLD WORK
• Yield strength increases.
• Tensile strength (TS) increases.
• Ductility (%EL or %AR) decreases (dramatically).

--are small
--consume cold-worked crystals.

GRAIN GROWTH
• At longer times, larger grains consume smaller ones. Why?
• Grain boundary area (and therefore energy) is reduced.
