The reduction in diameter that occurs as a sample material is subjected to tensile stresses. Necking, in engineering or materials science, is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large ...
The chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment that produces a deterioration of the material and its properties.
Segregation in materials refers to the enrichment of a material constituent at a free surface or an internal interface of a material. In a polycrystalline solid, a segregation site can be a ...
Volume defects in crystals are three-dimensional aggregates of atoms or vacancies. It is common to divide them into four classes in an imprecise classification that is based on a combination of the ...
The two-dimensional defects that appear in crystals can be usefully divided into three types: free surfaces, which are the external surfaces at which the solid terminates at a vapor or liquid, ...
In the original concept of Volterra, the Burgers' vector of a crystal dislocation is a translation vector of the crystal, that is, a vector that connects atom positions so that the crystal can be ...
Dislocations in real materials are most commonly neither pure edge nor pure screw in their character, but are mixed dislocations whose Burgers vectors lie at an intermediate angle to the local ...
