Intersection of Dislocation
Intersection of Dislocation
The resulting jog is parallel to b1 , but it has a Burgers vector b2 since it is part of the dislocation line APP'D.
It can be seen that the jog resulting from this intersection of two edge dislocations has an edge orientation
Intersection of Dislocation
In this case both dislocations are jogged
In this case the jogs both have a screw orientation and lie in the original slip planes of the dislocations rather than on a neighboring slip plane as in the previous case
Jogs of this type which lie in the slip plane instead of normal to it are usually called kinks Kinks in dislocations are unstable since during glide they can line up and annihilate

Dislocation Multiplication
The shear stress required to bend a dislocation to a radius R is

Dislocation Density:
The dislocation density is a measure of how many dislocations are present in a quantity of a material. => Defined as the total length of dislocation per unit volume.
Consequently the units are m/m3 = m-2
Dislocation density is usually of the order of 1010 m-2 in a metal, increasing to ~10-15 m-2 after work hardening.
Deformation of FCC Single Crystal:
Stage I: (Easy Glide Stage)
As clear from figure, very little change in stress Vs strain
Infact in this region, deformation start at a single slip system& causes movement of dislocation without hindrances so dislocation glide over a large distance so this stage is also known as Laminar Flow.
Factors = > Crystal Structure, orientation of planes, Purity & Size of crystal.
Deformation of FCC Single Crystal:
Stage II: (Turbulent Flow Stage)
As clear from figure, very rapid change in stress Vs strain
Rapid increase in work hardening but the rate of work hardening is constant (called linear hardening region). The fact that the slope of the flow curve in stage II is nearly independent of temperature agrees. with the theory that assumes the chief strain-hardening mechanism to be piled-up group of dislocations.
Deformation of FCC Single Crystal:
Stage III:
region of decreasing rate of strain hardening
The processes occurring during this stage are often called dynamical recovery (Dislocation Climb / Cross Slip)
The stress at which stage III begins, 3 is strongly temperature-dependent.
