Face Cantered Cubic

Slip occurs on {111} planes (close packed planes) along d 1

0> directions (close packed directions). There are 4
octahedral planes {111), (111), (11 I) and (Ill), 6 <110>
directions in each octahedral plane.

Each of the directions is common to two octahedral planes,

resulting in a total of 12 slip systems. Slip is also possible on
(100) along <10 1>. The number of independent slip
systems is 12. Slip is illustrated.

Slip in Bee occurs on {lI0} planes (close packed planes), {lI2} and {123}. Slip
direction is (close packed directions). {110}: There are 12 possible {IlO} type
planes, and for each one there are four slip directions: [lIl], [Ill], [Ill], and [1 11].

There are 48 possible combinations of slip plane and slip direction. {112}: There
are 24 possible {1l2} planes, and for each there are 2 slip directions: [IT1] and
[111].

There are 48 possible combinations of slip plane and slip direction. {123}: There
are 48 possible planes, and for each there are 2 possible slip directions: [IT 1] and
[111]. There are 96 possible combinations of slip plane and slip direction

of vacancies or atoms.

• Climb can be either positive or negative. In positive climb, the dislocation acts as a vacancy sink, absorbing a
vacancy to shift itself upwards relative to its initial position. In negative climb, the dislocation acts as a vacancy
source.

• The vacancy at the bottom of the extra half plane is replaced by an atom, which causes the dislocation to shift
downwards.
Jogs in Dislocations The term "Jogs" is sometimes considered to be the term for all "breaks" or steps in a dislocation
line with atomic dimensions.

Kinks then would be a subclass of jogs with the speciality of being in the glide plane. However, it is customary to use
the term "jogs" for all steps that are not contained in the glide plane. Looking just at the inserted half-plane of an
edge dislocation, jogs and kinks would look like this:

But remember: Jogs and kinks can occur in any dislocation, not just edge dislocations - they are just not as easily
drawn! Jogs in edge dislocations are obviously prime places for the emission or absorption of point defects as is
shown in the next illustration which looks at the inserted half-plane of an edge dislocation.

•Dislocations can be generated by deforming a crystalline material such as metals. They can initiate from surfaces,
particularly at stress concentrations or within the material at defects and grain boundaries. Several heterogeneities can
lead to dislocation nucleation, including:

•Cleavage steps
•Dislocation loops
•Glide bands
•Inclusions or "dirt" particles
•Precipitates (as grown)
•Radiation-induced precipitates
