4.1 Fundamentals of Dislocations

4.1.1 What are Dislocations?

Dislocations are linear defects in crystals and the most important crystal defects responsible for plastic deformation. While an ideal crystal requires theoretical strength (approximately G/10) for complete slip, the presence of dislocations reduces the actual yield stress to 1/100 to 1/1000 of the theoretical strength.

🔬 Discovery of Dislocations

The concept of dislocations was independently proposed by Taylor, Orowan, and Polanyi in 1934. It was introduced to explain why the measured strength of crystals is far lower than the theoretical strength, and was first directly observed using TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) in the 1950s.

4.1.2 Types of Dislocations

Dislocations are classified based on the relationship between the Burgers vector b and the dislocation line direction ξ:

Dislocation Type Relationship between Burgers Vector and Dislocation Line Characteristics Mode of Motion
Edge Dislocation b ⊥ ξ
(Perpendicular)
Extra half-plane insertion
Compressive/tensile stress field
Glide motion
Climb motion (high temperature)
Screw Dislocation b ∥ ξ
(Parallel)
Helical lattice displacement
Pure shear strain
Cross-slip possible
Slip on any plane
Mixed Dislocation 0° < (b, ξ) < 90° Intermediate between edge and screw Motion on slip plane

4.1.3 Burgers Vector

The Burgers vector (b) is a vector representing the closure failure of a circuit around a dislocation (Burgers circuit), determining the type and magnitude of the dislocation.

Burgers vectors in major crystal structures:

FCC (Face-Centered Cubic): b = (a/2)<110> (slip on close-packed {111} planes)
|b| = a/√2 ≈ 0.204 nm(Al)、0.256 nm(Cu)

BCC (Body-Centered Cubic): b = (a/2)<111> (slip on {110}, {112}, {123} planes)
|b| = a√3/2 ≈ 0.248 nm(Fe)

HCP (Hexagonal Close-Packed): b = (a/3)<1120> (basal plane), <c+a> (prismatic and pyramidal planes)

4.2 Dislocation Motion and Peach-Koehler Force

4.2.1 Forces Acting on Dislocations

Dislocations move under stress and cause plastic deformation. The force per unit length acting on a dislocation is represented by the Peach-Koehler force:

F = (σ · b) × ξ

F: Dislocationsに働く力(単位長さあたり)[N/m]
σ: Stress tensor [Pa]
b: Burgers vector [m]
ξ: Dislocations線方向の単位ベクトル

For a pure edge dislocation, by shear stress τ parallel to the slip plane:

F = τ · b

When a dislocation moves, shear deformation occurs on the slip plane. When a dislocation crosses the crystal, a total displacement of one atomic layer (|b|) occurs.

4.2.2 Critical Resolved Shear Stress (CRSS)

Critical Resolved Shear Stress (CRSS) is the minimum shear stress required for a slip system to become active. Yielding in single crystals occurs on the slip system where CRSS is first reached.

Using the angles between tensile stress σ and the slip system:

τresolved = σ · cos(φ) · cos(λ)

φ: Angle between slip plane normal and tensile axis
λ: Angle between slip direction and tensile axis
cos(φ)·cos(λ): Schmid factor

# - Python 3.9+
# - matplotlib>=3.7.0
# - numpy>=1.24.0, <2.0.0

4.3 Work Hardening

4.3.1 Mechanisms of Work Hardening

Work hardening or strain hardening is a phenomenon in which materials harden due to plastic deformation. The main causes are the increase in dislocation density and interactions between dislocations.

4.3.2 Taylor Equation and Dislocation Density

The relationship between yield stress and dislocation density is expressed by the Taylor equation:

σy = σ0 + α · M · G · b · √ρ

σy: Yield stress [Pa]
σ0: Friction stress (lattice friction stress) [Pa]
α: Constant (0.2-0.5, typically 0.3-0.4)
M: Taylor factor (polycrystalline average, FCC: 3.06, BCC: 2.75)
G: Shear modulus [Pa]
b: BurgersベクトルのMagnitude [m]
ρ: Dislocations密度 [m⁻²]

Typical dislocation densities:

State Dislocation Density ρ [m⁻²] Average Dislocation Spacing
Annealed (well softened) 10⁸ - 10¹⁰ 10 - 100 μm
Moderately worked 10¹² - 10¹³ 0.3 - 1 μm
Heavily worked (cold rolled) 10¹⁴ - 10¹⁵ 30 - 100 nm

4.3.3 Stages of Work Hardening

The stress-strain curve of FCC metals is typically divided into three stages:

Stage Characteristics Dislocation Structure Hardening rate
Stage I
(Easy Glide)
Observed in single crystals
Single slip system active
Dislocations move in one direction Low
(θ ≈ G/1000)
Stage II
(Linear Hardening)
Main region in polycrystals
Multiple slip systems active
Dislocation entanglement
Cell structure formation begins
High
(θ ≈ G/100)
Stage III
(Dynamic Recovery)
Large strain region
Dislocation rearrangement
Clear cell structure
Subgrain formation
Decreasing
(θ → 0)

4.4 Dynamic Recovery and Recrystallization

4.4.1 Dynamic Recovery

Dynamic recovery is the process where dislocations rearrange during deformation to form energetically stable configurations (cell structures, subgrains). It is prominent at high temperatures or in materials with low stacking fault energy (BCC, HCP).

🔬 Cell Structure and Subgrains

Cell structure: A microstructure consisting of walls with high dislocation density and interiors with low density. Size around 0.1-1 μm.

Subgrains: Regions surrounded by low-angle grain boundaries. Misorientation around 1-10°. Formed as dynamic recovery progresses.

4.4.2 Static Recovery and Recrystallization

Upon heating after cold working, the microstructure changes through the following stages:

The driving force for recrystallization is the strain energy from accumulated dislocations. Recrystallized grains nucleate with low dislocation density and grow by consuming regions with high dislocation density.

4.4.3 Recrystallization Temperature and Kinetics

Guideline for recrystallization temperature Trex:

Trex ≈ (0.3 - 0.5) × Tm

Tm: Melting point [K]

Kinetics of recrystallization (Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov equation):

Xv(t) = 1 - exp(-(kt)n)

Xv: Recrystallized volume fraction
k: Rate constant (temperature dependent)
t: Time [s]
n: Avrami exponent (1-4, typically 2-3)

# - Python 3.9+
# - matplotlib>=3.7.0

Easy (Fundamentals)

Q1: 刃状DislocationsとらせんDislocationsの主な違いは何ですか?

正解:

項目 刃状Dislocations らせんDislocations
BurgersベクトルとDislocations線 垂直(b ⊥ ξ) 平行(b ∥ ξ)
応力場 圧縮と引張 純粋なせん断
Mode of Motion すべり運動、上昇運動(高温) Cross-slip可能

解説:

実際のDislocationsはほとんどが混合Dislocationsで、刃状成分とらせん成分の両方を持ちます。らせんDislocationsはCross-slipができるため、障害物をバイパスしやすく、BCC金属の変形で重要な役割を果たします。

Q2: なぜ再結晶により材料が軟化するのですか?

正解: 再結晶によりDislocations密度が大幅に減少するため(10¹⁴ → 10¹² m⁻²程度)

解説:

冷間加工材は高いDislocations密度(10¹⁴-10¹⁵ m⁻²)を持ち、Dislocations同士の相互作用で硬く強いStateです。再結晶では、新しい低Dislocations密度の粒(10¹⁰-10¹² m⁻²)が核生成し、高Dislocations密度領域を消費しながら成長します。Taylor equation(σ ∝ √ρ)により、Dislocations密度が1/100になると降伏応力は約1/10に減少します。

Q3: Schmid factorが最大値0.5をとるのはどのような条件ですか?

正解: すべり面法線と引張軸が45°、かつすべり方向と引張軸が45°の時

解説:

Schmid factor = cos(φ)·cos(λ)は、φ = λ = 45°で最大値0.5をとります。この方位では、Tensile stressが最も効率的にすべり系のResolved shear stressに変換されます。逆に、φ = 0° or 90°、またはλ = 0° or 90°では、Schmid factorはゼロとなり、そのすべり系は活動しません。

Medium (Application)

Q4: Al合金を50%冷間圧延した後、350°Cで焼鈍します。Dislocations密度が初期の10¹² m⁻²から圧延後5×10¹³ m⁻²に増加したとします。(a) 圧延後の降伏応力を計算してください。(b) 完全再結晶後(ρ = 10¹² m⁻²)の降伏応力を計算してください。(G = 26 GPa、b = 0.286 nm、M = 3.06、α = 0.35、σ₀ = 10 MPa)

計算過程:

(a) 圧延後の降伏応力

Taylor equation: σ_y = σ₀ + α·M·G·b·√ρ

σ_y = 10×10⁶ + 0.35 × 3.06 × 26×10⁹ × 0.286×10⁻⁹ × √(5×10¹³)
    = 10×10⁶ + 1.07 × 9.62×10⁻¹ × 7.07×10⁶
    = 10×10⁶ + 97.8×10⁶
    = 107.8×10⁶ Pa
    = 107.8 MPa

(b) 完全再結晶後の降伏応力

σ_y = 10×10⁶ + 0.35 × 3.06 × 26×10⁹ × 0.286×10⁻⁹ × √(10¹²)
    = 10×10⁶ + 1.07 × 9.62×10⁻¹ × 10⁶
    = 10×10⁶ + 31.7×10⁶
    = 41.7×10⁶ Pa
    = 41.7 MPa

正解:

解説:

この計算は、冷間圧延による加工硬化と焼鈍による軟化を定量的に示しています。実用的には、H24材(半硬質)のような中間強度材料は、部分焼鈍によりDislocations密度を中間値(10¹³ m⁻²程度)に調整することで製造します。

Q5: XRD測定により、焼鈍材と70%圧延材のピーク幅が測定されました。Williamson-Hallプロットから、焼鈍材の傾き(ひずみ項)が0.001、圧延材が0.008と得られました。各材料のDislocations密度を推定してください。(b = 0.286 nm)

計算過程:

Williamson-Hall式の傾きは:slope = 4ε = 4 × (b√ρ) / 2 = 2b√ρ

したがって:√ρ = slope / (2b)

焼鈍材

slope = 0.001

√ρ = 0.001 / (2 × 0.286×10⁻⁹)
   = 0.001 / (5.72×10⁻¹⁰)
   = 1.75×10⁶ m⁻¹

ρ = (1.75×10⁶)²
  = 3.06×10¹² m⁻²

圧延材

slope = 0.008

√ρ = 0.008 / (2 × 0.286×10⁻⁹)
   = 1.40×10⁷ m⁻¹

ρ = (1.40×10⁷)²
  = 1.96×10¹⁴ m⁻²

正解:

解説:

Williamson-Hall法は、XRDピークの幅拡大からDislocations密度を推定する非破壊手法です。この例では、70%圧延によりDislocations密度が約65倍に増加しており、典型的な冷間加工の効果です。ただし、実際のXRD解析では、結晶粒径による幅拡大とDislocationsによるひずみを分離するため、複数のピークを用いたプロットが必要です。

Hard (Advanced)

Q6: Cu単結晶を[011]方向に引張試験します。{111}<110>すべり系のCRSSが1.0 MPaのとき、(a) 降伏応力を計算してください。(b) この方位が[001]方位よりも降伏しやすい理由を、Schmid factorを用いて説明してください。

計算過程:

(a) [011]方位の降伏応力

FCC結晶の{111}<110>すべり系には12個のすべり系があります。[011]引張では、最も有利なすべり系は:

Schmid factorの計算:

引張軸: [011] = [0, 1, 1] / √2
すべり面法線: (111) = [1, 1, 1] / √3
すべり方向: [1̄01] = [-1, 0, 1] / √2

cos(φ) = |引張軸 · すべり面法線|
        = |(0×1 + 1×1 + 1×1) / (√2 × √3)|
        = 2 / √6
        = 0.816

cos(λ) = |引張軸 · すべり方向|
        = |(0×(-1) + 1×0 + 1×1) / (√2 × √2)|
        = 1 / 2
        = 0.5

Schmid factor = 0.816 × 0.5 = 0.408

降伏応力:

σ_y = CRSS / Schmid factor
    = 1.0 MPa / 0.408
    = 2.45 MPa

(b) [001]方位との比較

[001]方位の場合:

引張軸: [001]
すべり面法線: (111) → [1, 1, 1] / √3
すべり方向: [1̄10] → [-1, 1, 0] / √2

cos(φ) = |0×1 + 0×1 + 1×1| / √3 = 1/√3 = 0.577
cos(λ) = |0×(-1) + 0×1 + 1×0| / √2 = 0 / √2 = 0

Schmid factor = 0.577 × 0 = 0 (このすべり系は活動しない)

実際には、4つの等価な{111}面がすべて同じSchmid factor0.5を持つ
すべり方向は<110>で、[001]と45°の角度
最大Schmid factor = cos(45°) × cos(45°) = 0.5

σ_y = 1.0 / 0.5 = 2.0 MPa

正解:

詳細な考察:

1. 計算の訂正と詳細解析

実は、問題文の前提に誤りがありました。正確には:

したがって、[011]方位は[001]方位よりも「降伏しにくい」です。

2. FCC単結晶の方位依存性の物理

[001]方位が最も降伏しやすい理由:

[111]方位が最も硬い理由:

3. 実用的意義

4. 多結晶材料への拡張

多結晶材料では、各結晶粒が異なる方位を持つため、平均的なSchmid factorを考慮します。Taylor因子Mは、この方位平均の逆数に相当し:

Q7: 加工Hardening rateθ = dσ/dεについて、Stage IIでは線形硬化(θ ≈ G/200、Gはせん断弾性率)、Stage IIIではHardening rateが減少することを、Dislocations密度の増加と動的回復の観点から説明してください。

解答例:

Stage II(線形硬化領域):

Stage III(動的回復領域):

Voce式による記述:

Stage III以降の応力-ひずみ関係は、Voce式で近似できます:

$$\sigma(\varepsilon) = \sigma_0 + (\sigma_{\text{sat}} - \sigma_0) \left(1 - \exp(-\theta_0 \varepsilon / (\sigma_{\text{sat}} - \sigma_0))\right)$$

ここで、σ₀は初期降伏応力、σ_satは飽和応力、θ₀は初期Hardening rateです。

材料依存性:

Q8: 再結晶温度T_recrysを決定する経験式として、T_recrys ≈ 0.4T_m(T_mは融点、絶対温度)が知られています。この関係式の物理的根拠を、原子拡散と粒界移動度の観点から説明してください。

解答例:

再結晶のメカニズム:

  1. 核生成: 加工組織中の高ひずみ領域(粒界、せん断帯)で新しい結晶粒が核生成
  2. 粒界移動: 新しい結晶粒が、蓄積ひずみエネルギーを駆動力として成長
  3. Dislocationsの消滅: 粒界移動により、Dislocationsが掃き出され、ひずみのない組織が形成

0.4T_mの物理的意味:

1. 原子拡散の活性化

2. 粒界移動度の温度依存性

3. 駆動力とのバランス

材料による変動:

材料 T_m (K) T_recrys / T_m 実用再結晶温度
アルミニウム(Al) 933 0.35-0.40 300-400°C
銅(Cu) 1358 0.30-0.40 200-400°C
鉄(Fe) 1811 0.40-0.50 500-700°C
タングステン(W) 3695 0.40-0.50 1200-1500°C

実用的意義:

Q9: X線回折(XRD)ピークの半価幅(FWHM)解析から、Dislocations密度を推定する方法について、Williamson-Hallプロットを用いて説明してください。また、PythonでサンプルデータからDislocations密度を計算するコードを作成してください。

解答例:

Williamson-Hall法のPrinciple:

XRDピークの広がり(半価幅β)は、結晶子サイズDとひずみε(Dislocationsによる格子ひずみ)の両方に起因します:

$$\beta \cos\theta = \frac{K\lambda}{D} + 4\varepsilon \sin\theta$$

Williamson-Hallプロット:

縦軸に$\beta \cos\theta$、横軸に$4\sin\theta$をプロットすると:

Dislocations密度の推定:

格子ひずみεから、Dislocations密度ρを推定できます:

$$\rho \approx \frac{2\sqrt{3} \varepsilon}{D_{\text{eff}} b}$$
