Purpose of work: to study the mechanism of crystallization of metals, the energy conditions of the crystallization process.

2. In a notebook for practical work, answer in writing the control questions.

Theoretical information

The general property of metals and alloys is their crystalline structure, which is characterized by a certain arrangement of atoms in space. To describe the atomic-crystal structure, the concept of a crystal cell is used - the smallest volume, the translation of which in all dimensions can fully reproduce the structure of the crystal. In a real crystal, atoms or ions are brought close to each other to a state of direct contact, but for simplicity they are replaced by schemes where the centers of attraction of atoms or ions are depicted by dots; The cells most typical for metals are shown in Fig. 1.1.

Figure 1.1. Types of crystal lattices and the arrangement of atoms in them:

a) face-centered (FCC), b) body-centered (BCC), c) hexagonal close-packed (GSC)

Any substance can be in three aggregate states: solid, liquid and gaseous, and the transition from one state to another occurs at a certain temperature and pressure. Most technological processes occur at atmospheric pressure, then phase transitions are characterized by the temperature of crystallization (melting), sublimation and boiling (evaporation).

With an increase in the temperature of a solid, the mobility of atoms in the nodes of the crystal cell increases, and their vibration amplitude increases. When the melting temperature is reached, the energy of the atoms becomes sufficient to leave the cell - it collapses with the formation of a liquid phase. Melting point is an important physical constant of materials. Among metals, mercury has the lowest melting point (-38.9 ° C), and the highest is tungsten (3410 ° C).

The opposite picture takes place when the liquid is cooled with its further solidification. In the vicinity of the melting point, groups of atoms are formed, packed into cells, as in a solid. These groups are centers (nuclei) of crystallization, and then a layer of crystals grows on them. Upon reaching the same melting point, the material passes into a liquid state with the formation of a crystal lattice.

Crystallization is the transition of a metal from a liquid to a solid state at a certain temperature. According to the law of thermodynamics, any system tends to go into a state with a minimum value of free energy - a composite internal energy that can be isothermally converted into work. Therefore, the metal solidifies when there is less free energy in the solid state and melts when there is less free energy in the liquid state.


The crystallization process consists of two elementary processes: the nucleation of crystallization centers and the growth of crystals from these centers. As noted above, at a temperature close to crystallization, the formation of a new structure, a crystallization center, begins. With an increase in the degree of supercooling, the number of such centers increases, around which crystals begin to grow. At the same time, new crystallization centers are formed in the liquid phase; therefore, an increase in the solid phase occurs simultaneously both due to the emergence of new centers and due to the growth of existing ones. The total crystallization rate depends on the course of both processes, and the rates of nucleation of centers and crystal growth depend on the degree of supercooling ΔТ. In fig. 1.2 schematically shows the crystallization mechanism.

Rice. 1.2. Crystallization mechanism

Real crystals are called crystallites, they have an irregular shape, which is explained by their simultaneous growth. Crystallization nuclei can be fluctuations of the base metal, impurities and various solid particles.

The grain sizes depend on the degree of supercooling: at small values ​​of ΔТ, the crystal growth rate is high, therefore, an insignificant amount of large crystallites is formed. An increase in ΔТ leads to an increase in the rate of nucleation, the number of crystallites increases significantly, and their sizes decrease. However, the main role in the formation of the metal structure is played by impurities (non-metallic inclusions, oxides, deoxidation products) - the more there are, the smaller the grain sizes. Sometimes the metal is modified on purpose - the deliberate introduction of impurities in order to reduce the grain size.

In the formation of the crystal structure, the direction of heat removal plays an important role, because the crystal grows faster in this direction. The dependence of the growth rate on the direction leads to the formation of branched tree-like crystals - dendrites (Fig. 1.3).

Rice. 1.3 Dendritic crystal

During the transition from a liquid to a solid state, selective crystallization always takes place - first of all, the purer metal hardens. Therefore, the grain boundaries are more enriched in impurities, and the heterogeneity of the chemical composition within the dendrites is called dendritic liquation.

In fig. 1.4. shows the structure of a steel ingot, in which it is possible to distinguish 3 characteristic zones: fine-grained 1, a zone of columnar crystals 2 and a zone of equilibrium crystals 3. Zone 1 consists of a large number of crystals not oriented in space, formed under the influence of a significant temperature difference between the liquid metal and cold walls.

Rice. 1.4. Steel ingot structure

After the formation of the outer zone, the conditions for heat removal deteriorate, hypothermia decreases and fewer crystallization centers appear. Crystals begin to grow from them in the direction of heat removal (perpendicular to the walls of the mold), forming zone 2. In zone 3 there is no clear direction for heat removal, and the nuclei of crystallization in it contain foreign particles displaced during the crystallization of the previous zones.

ANALYSIS OF THE CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE

METALS AND ALLOYS

Purpose of work:

Get acquainted with the types of crystal lattices of metals and alloys, crystal structure defects and types of solid solutions.

Devices, materials and tools

Models of the main types of crystal lattices of metals and solid solutions.

Brief theoretical information

Atomic crystal structure of metals. Metals under normal conditions have a crystalline structure, distinctive feature which is a certain mutual periodic arrangement of atoms, spreading over arbitrarily large distances. This arrangement of atoms is usually called long-range order. Thus, the atomic-crystal structure is understood as the mutual arrangement of atoms (ions) that exists in a real crystal. To describe the atomic-crystal structure, the concept of a spatial or crystal lattice is used. The crystal lattice of a metal is an imaginary spatial grid, at the nodes of which atoms (ions) are located, between which free electrons move. The electrostatic forces of attraction between ions and electrons balance the repulsive forces between ions. Thus, the positions of the atoms are such that the minimum interaction energy between them is ensured, and, consequently, the stability of the entire aggregate.

The minimum volume of a crystal that gives an idea of ​​the atomic structure of a metal in the entire volume is called elementary crystal cell. Pure metals have one of the following types of crystal lattice: body-centered (bcc), face-centered (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) (Fig. 1).

The bcc lattice is, for example, a-iron, lithium, vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum; FCC lattice - aluminum, g-iron, copper, gold, nickel, platinum, lead, silver. The hcp lattice has magnesium, zinc, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, a-titanium.

Coordinate directions (crystallographic axes). In the system of crystallographic axes, the shape of the unit cell of the spatial lattice can be described using three coordinate angles a, b, and g between the crystallographic axes and three lattice parameters a, b, c.

The unit cells of cubic lattices of bcc (Fig.1a) and fcc (Fig.1b) are characterized by the equality of the angles a = b = g = 90 ° and the equality of the lattice parameters a = b = c. The hcp lattice (Fig.1c) is characterized by the values ​​of the angles a = b = 90 ° and g = 120 ° and the equality of the two lattice parameters a = b c.

Crystallographic symbols are used to describe atomic planes and directions in a crystal. To determine the symbols of the planes, use the method of indexing the plane by line segments. For this, a coordinate system is selected so that the coordinate axes I, II, III are parallel to the three intersecting edges of the crystal (Fig. 2). As a rule, the first crystallographic axis is directed towards the observer, the second is horizontal, and the third is oriented upward. Plane А 1 В 1 С 1 cuts off at coordinate axes segments equal in size to the lattice parameters ОА 1 = a, ОВ 1 = b, OC 1 = c. The plane A 1 B 1 C 1 is called a single plane. Lattice parameters a, b, c are taken as axial units.

To determine the crystallographic indices of the plane А 2 В 2 С 2, it is necessary:

Find the parameters of a given plane, i.e., the segments in axial units, cut off by this plane on the coordinate axes;

Write down the ratio of three fractions, the numerators of which are the parameters of the unit plane А 1 В 1 С 1, and the denominators are the parameters of the given plane А 2 В 2 С 2, i.e. 1 / ОА 2: 1 / ОВ 2: 1 / ОВ 2;

Reduce the resulting ratio to the ratio of three integers coprime numbers, that is, reduce the fractions to common denominator, reduce, if possible, by a common factor, and discard the denominator.

The resulting three integers and coprime numbers, denoted by h, k, l, are called the indices of the atomic plane. The set of indices is called the symbol of the atomic plane, which is usually enclosed in parentheses and written (hkl). If the plane intersects the coordinate axes in a negative quarter, then a "-" sign is placed above the index. If the plane under consideration is parallel to one of the crystallographic axes, then the index corresponding to this axis is zero. Figure 3 shows examples of the indexing of planes in the Bravais cubic unit cell.

The symbols should be read numerically, for example (100) as 1, 0, 0. The symbols for the parallel planes are the same. Consequently, the plane symbol describes an infinitely large family of parallel atomic planes that are structurally equivalent. Atomic planes of one family are located from each other at an equal interplanar distance d.

Atomic planes of different families can be non-parallel, but identical in the arrangement of atoms and interplanar distance d. Such planes are combined and denoted by the symbol (hkl). So, in cubic crystals, one set includes families of planes, the indices of which differ only in signs and location in the symbol. For example, the set of atomic planes (100) includes six families: (100), (͞100), (010), (0 ͞10), (001), (00͞1).

The symbol of the crystallographic direction is determined using three coprime numbers (indices) u, v, w, which are proportional to the coordinates of the radius vector R connecting the origin (starting site) with the nearest crystal lattice site in a given direction. Indices are enclosed in square brackets and written down. If the direction does not pass through the origin (starting node), then it must be mentally transferred parallel to itself or move the origin and coordinate axes so that the direction passes through the origin.

Figure 4 shows examples of crystallographic directions indication in a cubic crystal.

Place the origin at the point O... Then, for example, the point with has coordinates 0, 0, 1; direction symbol wasps-. It is read separately - "direction zero - zero - one". Point e has coordinates ½; ½; 1; direction symbol oh-. To define a direction symbol aw, mentally transfer it parallel to itself to the point O; then the coordinates of the point v- ͡͞1, 1, 0; direction symbol is [͞110]. When the direction is reversed, the signs of the indices are reversed, for example, and (see Figure 1.5). Parallel directions have the same symbols and are combined into families. Families of identical but non-parallel directions form a set, which is denoted by , for example, in a set of directions<100>includes families of directions, [͞100],,,,.

In hexagonal crystals, a four-axis coordinate system is mainly used to indicate planes. Examples of plane indexing in a hexagonal crystal are shown in Figure 5.

The fourth coordinate axis OU lies in the horizontal plane and is located along the bisector between the negative semiaxes (-ОХ) and (-ОY). The plane symbol consists of four indices and is written (hkil). Three of them (h, k and l) are calculated from the reciprocal values ​​of the segments cut off by the plane under consideration on three crystallographic axes (OX), (OY), (OZ), and the fourth index i calculated by the ratio:

h + k + i = 0 (1)

For example, if h = 1; k = 1, l = 0, then, using relation (1), we can find the fourth index: i = - (h + k) = - (1 +1) = -2. The plane symbol is written as (11͞20). This is the plane closest to us in Figure 6. The fourth index i is used when it is necessary to designate identical planes, and is not used when calculating interplanar distances, angles between planes and directions. Therefore, instead of completely writing the plane symbol, for example, (11͞20), sometimes (11.0) is used, i.e. instead of the index i, they put a period. Families and assemblies of identical planes are defined similarly to families and assemblies in cubic crystals.

To describe the crystallographic directions in hexagonal crystals, both triaxial and four-axial symbols are used. Triaxial symbols are determined by the coordinates of a given radius vector (as in cubic crystals).

There is a relationship between the four-axis directional indices:

r 1 + r 2 + r 3 = 0 (2)

To switch from three-axis symbols to four-axis symbols, the following ratios are used:

r 1 = 2u –v; r 2 = 2v - u; r 3 = -u - v; r 4 = 3w (3)

Examples of indication of crystallographic directions in a hexagonal crystal are shown in Figure 6.

In addition to the geometric characteristics of a crystal, physical materials science uses the following concepts: the number of atoms per cell n I, the coordination number (CN) and the filling factor η.

By the number of atoms per cell n I mean the number of atomic volumes per Bravais unit cell. Let's take the volume of one atom per unit. As an example, consider a body-centered cell, which is formed by 9 atoms, 8 of which are located at the vertices of the cube, and 1 in the center of the cube. Each atom in a vertex belongs to eight neighboring cells at the same time, therefore, 1/8 of each of the 8 atoms belongs to one cell: 1/8. 8 = 1; the atom in the center of the cube belongs entirely to the cell. Thus, a body-centered cell is formed by two atomic volumes, i.e., there are two atoms per cell.

Coordination number (CN) is understood as the number of atoms located at the same and the smallest distance from a given atom. The higher the coordination number, the higher the packing density of atoms. So, in a body-centered cubic lattice, CN = 8; in face-centered and hexagonal lattices, CN = 12.

The filling factor η is the percentage ratio of the volume V a occupied by atoms in a cell to the volume of the entire cell V i:

η = (V a / V i) ∙ 100% (4)

The coordination number (CN) and the filling factor η characterize the packing density of atoms in the unit cell of a metal crystal. The densest packing of atoms is realized in the face-centered and hexagonal Bravais cells.

Crystalline defects . A real crystal differs from an ideal one by the presence of crystal structure defects, which influence, often decisively, the macroscopic properties of crystalline bodies. Geometrically, defects are divided into three groups:

Point (zero-dimensional);

Linear (one-dimensional);

Surface (two-dimensional).

Point defects have dimensions in all directions from one to four atomic diameters. They are subdivided into own and impurity.

Intrinsic point defects include: vacancies formed when an atom (ion) is removed from its normal position in a crystal lattice site, and interstitial atoms - the atoms of the base metal located in interstitial sites of the crystal lattice. Impurity atoms include atoms of other (or other) elements, dissolved in the main lattice according to the principle of substitution or insertion.

Figure 7 shows, in a two-dimensional model of the crystal, vacancies, an intrinsic interstitial atom, and substitutional and interstitial impurity atoms.

The most common are vacancies. There are two known mechanisms for the emergence of vacancies: the Schottky mechanism - when an atom leaves the outer surface or the surface of a pore or crack inside a crystal under the influence of thermal fluctuations, and the Frenkel mechanism - when a pair of "intrinsic interstitial atom - vacancy" forms inside the crystal lattice during deformation, irradiation of metals with ionizing radiation: fast electrons, γ - rays. In real crystals, vacancies are constantly formed and disappear under the influence of thermal fluctuations. The activation energy for the formation of a vacancy is approximately 1 eV, for an interstitial atom, from 3 to 10 eV.

With increasing temperature, the equilibrium concentration of point defects in the crystal increases. During plastic deformation, irradiation, and quenching, the number of point defects increases sharply, which leads to a violation of their equilibrium concentration by several orders of magnitude.

Substitutional impurity atoms migrate in the same way as the main atoms - by the vacancy mechanism. Impurity interstitial atoms are small and therefore, in contrast to large intrinsic interstitial atoms, they can migrate over the voids between the atoms of the crystal lattice.

Point defects have a great influence on the mechanism and kinetics of creep processes, long-term fracture, the formation of diffusion porosity, decarburization, graphitization, and other processes associated with the transfer of atoms in the bulk of a substance, as well as on physical properties: electrical resistance, density.

Linear defects are small (several atomic diameters) in two directions and have a large extent, comparable to the length of the crystal, in the third. Linear defects include dislocations, chains of vacancies, and interstitial atoms.

Dislocations are divided into two main types: edge and screw.

An edge dislocation can be imagined by mentally splitting a perfect crystal vertically, say, with a primitive cubic lattice, and inserting an extra short atomic layer called an extraplane into it. Extra-plane can also be obtained by shifting one part of the crystal relative to the other. The extraplane, acting like a wedge, bends the lattice around its bottom edge inside the crystal (Fig. 8).

The area of ​​imperfection around the edge of the extraplane is called an edge dislocation. Strong distortions of the crystal lattice are enclosed, as it were, inside a "pipe" with a diameter of two to ten atomic diameters, the axis of which is the edge of the extraplane. Along the extraplane line, the imperfections are macroscopic, while in the other two directions (along the "pipe" diameter) they are very small. If the extraplane is located in the upper part of the crystal, then the dislocation associated with it is called positive and denoted by (┴); if the extraplane is located in the lower part, then the dislocation is called negative and denoted by (┬).

Under the action of an external applied stress, an edge dislocation can slide along certain crystallographic planes and directions. The predominant sliding occurs along close-packed planes. The combination of the sliding plane and the sliding direction is called the sliding system. Each type of crystal lattice is characterized by its own slip systems. Thus, in crystals with a face-centered cubic lattice, these are the planes of the set (111) and the directions of the set<110>(Cu, Al, Ni), with a body-centered cubic lattice - (110) (α-Fe, Mo, Nb), (211) (Ta, W, α-Fe), (321) (Cr, α-Fe) and<111>, with hexagonal close-packed - (0001),<11͞20>(Zn, Mg, Be), (1͞100), (10͞11),<11͞20>(Ti), (11͞22),<1͞213>(Ti). The stress required for shear is called critical shear or shear stress. Moreover, at each moment of time, only a small group of atoms participates in the displacement on both sides of the slip plane. Figure 9 shows a diagram of the sliding of an edge dislocation through a crystal.

The final stage slip is the exit of an edge dislocation (extraplane) on the surface of the crystal. In this case, the upper part of the crystal is shifted relative to the lower one by one interatomic distance in the direction of shear. Such movement is an elementary act of plastic deformation. Glide is a conservative movement that is not associated with the transfer of mass of matter. The direction and magnitude of the shear during the displacement of the edge dislocation are characterized by the Burgers vector b and its power, respectively. The direction of displacement of the edge dislocation is parallel to the Burgers vector.

In addition to sliding, an edge dislocation can move by crawling, which is carried out by a diffusion path and is a thermally activated process. Positive climb occurs when a chain of atoms from the edge of the extraplane moves to neighboring vacancies or interstices, i.e. the extraplane is shortened by one interatomic distance and the edge dislocation passes into the upper slip plane parallel to the first one. Negative climb occurs when the edge of the extraplane is completed by an atomic row due to the attachment of interstitial or neighboring atoms, and the edge dislocation passes into the lower slip plane. Crawling is a non-conservative movement, i.e. occurs with mass transfer. The creep rate depends on both the temperature and the concentration of point defects.

A screw dislocation, like an edge dislocation, can be created using a shift. Let's imagine a crystal in the form of a stack of horizontal parallel atomic planes. Let us mentally make a blind notch in the crystal (Fig. 10a) and move, for example, the right part downward (along the ABCD plane) by one interplanar distance (Fig. 10b).

A screw dislocation is subdivided into the right (Fig.10b), when moving from the upper plane to the lower line of the dislocation must be bypassed clockwise, and the left, when, when moving from the upper plane to the lower dislocation line, it is necessary to bypass counterclockwise (if relative to the plane ABCD move down the left side of the crystal). The screw dislocation line is always parallel to the Burgers vector (Fig. 11).

A screw dislocation, in contrast to an edge dislocation, is not associated with a specific shear plane; therefore, it can slide by sliding in any crystallographic plane containing a dislocation line and a shear vector (Fig. 12). The direction of movement of the screw dislocation is always perpendicular to the Burgers vector. As a result of sliding of both edge and screw dislocations, a step is formed on the crystal surface with a height equal in magnitude to the Burgers vector b(fig. 12).

Dislocations are present in all crystals. So, in undeformed metals the density of dislocations is 10 6 -10 8 cm -2; in homeopolar crystals - 10 4 cm -2. With an external stress equal to the critical shear stress τ cr = 10 -5 G, where G is the elastic modulus of the material, the dislocations start to move, that is, plastic deformation begins. In the process of plastic deformation, the dislocation density increases. For example, in deformed metals the dislocation density is 10 10 –10 12 cm -2; in homeopolar crystals up to 10 8 cm -2. Various kinds of barriers (second-phase particles, point defects, grain boundaries, etc.) serve as obstacles for moving dislocations. In addition, as the number of dislocations increases, they begin to accumulate, become entangled in tangles, and interfere with other moving dislocations. As the degree of deformation increases, τcr increases, i.e., to continue the deformation process, an increase in external stress is required, which, to a certain extent, determines the hardening of the material.

Surface defects. Surface defects include grain boundaries (subgrains) (Fig. 13). Surface defects are two-dimensional, that is, they are macroscopic in two directions and atomic in the third direction. The boundaries are called low-angle, if the misorientation of the crystal lattices of neighboring grains does not exceed 10 °, and high-angle (high-angle) with a greater misorientation.

Low-angle boundaries can be formed by systems of both edge and screw dislocations of different orientations and with different Burgers vectors. Low-angle boundaries arise during the growth of crystals from a melt, during plastic deformation, etc. Dislocations of a low-angle boundary attract point defects due to elastic interaction with them. The migration of the low-angle boundary is carried out only by diffusion. Therefore, point defects, concentrated in the near-boundary zone at several interatomic distances, inhibit this process and stabilize the substructure.

High-angle boundaries were found much earlier than low-angle ones and are the “oldest” type of crystal structure defects. It is believed that the high-angle boundary is a layer 2-3 atomic diameters thick, in which the atoms occupy some intermediate positions with respect to the correct positions of the lattice sites of neighboring grains. This position of the atoms provides the minimum potential energy in the boundary layer, therefore, it is quite stable.

The nature and behavior of both low-angle and high-angle boundaries under force and temperature influences the mechanical properties of the material.

"Physical properties of metals and methods of their study"
Purpose of the work: to study the physical properties of metals, methods of their determination.
Progress:



Theoretical part
Physical properties include: density, melting (melting point),
thermal conductivity, thermal expansion.
Density is the amount of a substance contained in a unit of volume. This is one of
the most important characteristics of metals and alloys. By density, metals are divided into
the following groups: light (density no more than 5 g / cm3) magnesium, aluminum, titanium, etc.
heavy (density from 5 to 10 g / cm3) iron, nickel, copper, zinc, tin, etc. (this
the most extensive group); very heavy (density over 10 g / cm3) molybdenum,
tungsten, gold, lead, etc. Table 1 shows the values ​​of the density of metals.

The melting point is the temperature at which the metal passes from
crystalline (solid) state into liquid with heat absorption.
The melting points of metals are in the range of -39 ° C (mercury) to 3410 ° C
(tungsten). Melting point of most metals (excluding alkali)
high, but some "normal" metals, such as tin and lead, can
melt on a conventional electric or gas stove.
Depending on the melting point, the metal is divided into the following
groups: low-melting (melting temperature does not exceed 600 oС) zinc, tin,
lead, bismuth, etc .; medium-melting (from 600 oС to 1600 oС), they include almost

The smooth surface of metals reflects a large percentage of light this phenomenon
called a metallic sheen. However, in a powdery state, most
metals lose their luster; aluminum and magnesium, however, retain their luster
and powder. The best reflecting light are aluminum, silver and palladium of these
mirrors are made of metals. Rhodium is sometimes used to make mirrors,
despite its exceptionally high price: due to significantly higher
silver or even palladium, hardness and chemical resistance, the rhodium layer can
be significantly thinner than silver.
Research methods in materials science
The main research methods in metal science and materials science
microstructure, electron microscopy,
are:

break,
macrostructure,
1. Fracture is the easiest and most affordable way to assess the internal structure
metals. Method for assessing kinks, despite its apparent roughness of the assessment
the quality of the material, it is used quite widely in various industries and
scientific research. Fracture assessment can in many cases characterize quality
material.
The fracture can be crystalline or amorphous. Amorphous fracture is characteristic
for non-crystalline materials such as glass, rosin,
glassy slags.
Metal alloys, including steel, cast iron, aluminum, magnesium
alloys, zinc and its alloys give granular, crystalline fracture.
Each face of a crystalline fracture is a shear plane
single grain. Therefore, the kink shows us the grain size of the metal. Studying the kink
steel, it can be seen that the grain size can vary over a very wide range: from
several centimeters in a cast, slowly cooled down, steel to thousandths
millimeter in properly forged and hardened steel. Depending on the size
grains, fracture can be large-crystalline and fine-crystalline. Usually
fine-crystalline fracture corresponds to more high quality metal
alloy.

If the destruction of the test sample proceeds from the previous
plastic deformation, the grains in the fracture plane are deformed, and the fracture is no longer
reflects the internal crystal structure of the metal; in this case kink
called fibrous. Often in one sample, depending on the level of its
plasticity, there can be fibrous and crystalline areas in the fracture. Often on
the ratio of the area of ​​the fracture occupied by the crystalline regions at the given
test conditions evaluate the quality of the metal.
Brittle crystalline fracture can result from fracture along grain boundaries
or along slip planes crossing the grains. In the first case, the break is called
intercrystalline, in the second transcrystalline. Sometimes, especially with very small
grain, it is difficult to determine the nature of the fracture. In this case, the kink is studied using a magnifying glass or
binocular microscope.
Recently, the branch of metal science has been developing in fractographic
the study of fractures on metallographic and electron microscopes. Wherein

2. Macrostructure is the next method for studying metals.
Macrostructural research consists in studying the plane of the section of the product or
sample in longitudinal, transverse or any other directions after etching, without
the use of magnifying devices
Dignity
macrostructural study is the fact that with the help of this
method, you can study the structure directly of the whole casting or ingot, forging,
stamping, etc. With this research method, you can discover internal
metal defects: bubbles, voids, cracks, slag inclusions, investigate
the crystal structure of the casting, to study the inhomogeneity of the crystallization of the ingot and its
chemical heterogeneity (liquation).

Using sulfur prints of macrosections on photographic paper according to Bauman, it is determined
uneven distribution of sulfur over the section of the ingots. Great importance this method
research has in the study of forged or stamped blanks for
determining the correct direction of the fibers in the metal.
3. Microstructure one of the main methods in metallurgy is
study of metal microstructure on metallographic and electronic
microscopes.
This method makes it possible to study the microstructure of metal objects with large
magnifications: from 50 to 2000 times on an optical metallographic microscope and from
2 to 200 thousand times on an electron microscope. Microstructure research
produced on polished sections. On non-etched thin sections, the presence of
non-metallic inclusions such as oxides, sulfides, fine slag inclusions
and other inclusions that differ sharply from the nature of the base metal.
The microstructure of metals and alloys is studied on etched sections. Etching
usually produced with weak acids, alkalis, or other solutions, depending on
from the nature of the metal of the thin section. The etching action is that it is differently
dissolves various structural components, coloring them in different tones or
colors. Grain boundaries other than the base solution are etched usually
different from the base and stands out on the thin section in the form of dark or light lines.
The polyhedra of grains visible under the microscope are sections of grains
surface of the thin section. Since this section is random and can take place at different
distances from the center of each individual grain, the difference in the sizes of the polyhedra is not
corresponds to the actual differences in grain size. The closest value to
6

the actual grain size is the largest grain.
When etching a sample consisting of homogeneous crystalline grains,
for example, pure metal, homogeneous solid solution, etc. is often observed
differently etched surfaces of different grains.
This phenomenon is explained by the fact that grains emerge on the surface of the microsection, having
different crystallographic orientations, as a result of which the degree of exposure
acids for these grains are different. Some grains look shiny, others
strongly etched, darken. This darkening is associated with the formation of various
etched figures, differently reflecting light rays. In the case of alloys, separate
structural components form a microrelief on the surface of a thin section, which has
areas with different slopes of individual surfaces.
Normal areas reflect the most light and
turn out to be the lightest. Other areas are darker. Often the contrast in
the image of the grain structure is associated not with the structure of the surface of the grains, but with
relief at the grain boundaries. In addition, various shades of structural components
can be the result of the formation of films formed during the interaction
etchant with structural components.
With the help of metallographic examination, it is possible to carry out a high-quality
identification of structural components of alloys and quantitative study of microstructures

The grain size is determined. By the method of visual assessment, consisting in the fact that
considered microstructure, approximately estimated by points of standard scales
according to GOST 563968, GOST 564068. According to the corresponding tables, for each point
the area of ​​one grain and the number of grains per 1 mm2 and in 1 mm3 are determined.
By counting the number of grains per unit surface of a thin section by
corresponding formulas. If S is the area on which the number of
grains n, and M magnification of the microscope, then average value grains in the cross-section of the surface
thin section
Determination of the phase composition. The phase composition of the alloy is often assessed by eye or
by comparing the structure with standard scales.
An approximate method for the quantitative determination of the phase composition can be
carried out by the secant method with the calculation of the lengths of the segments occupied by different
structural components. The ratio of these segments corresponds to the volumetric
the content of individual components.
Point method A.A. Glagoleva. This method is carried out by evaluating
the number of points (points of intersection of the eyepiece reticle of the microscope) falling on
surface of each structural component. In addition, by the method of quantitative
metallography produce: determination of the size of the interface between phases and grains;
determination of the number of particles in the volume; determination of grain orientation in polycrystalline
samples.
4. Electronic
microscopy. Big
in metallographic
research has recently found an electron microscope. Undoubtedly, he
a great future belongs. If the resolution of the optical microscope
reaches values ​​of 0.00015 mm = 1500 A, then the resolution of electronic
microscopes reaches 510 A, i.e. several hundred times more than optical.
meaning
An electron microscope is used to study thin films (replicas),
taken from the surface of a thin section or direct study of thin metal
films obtained by thinning a massive sample.

Most in need of electron microscopy
studies of processes associated with the release of excess phases, for example, decay
supersaturated solid solutions during thermal or strain aging.
5. X-ray research methods. One of the most important methods in
establishing the crystallographic structure of various metals and alloys is
X-ray structural analysis. This research method makes it possible to determine
the nature of the mutual arrangement of atoms in crystalline bodies, i.e. To solve the task,
not accessible to either a conventional or an electron microscope.
X-ray structural analysis is based on the interaction between
X-rays and the atoms of the investigated body lying in their path, thanks to
to which the latter become, as it were, new sources of X-rays,
being the centers of their dispersion.
The scattering of rays by atoms can be likened to the reflection of these rays from atomic
crystal planes according to the laws of geometric optics.
X-rays are reflected not only from planes lying on
surface, but also from deep. Reflecting from several equally oriented
planes, the reflected beam is amplified. Each plane of the crystal lattice
gives its own beam of reflected waves. Having received a certain alternation of reflected
beams of X-rays at certain angles, calculate the interplanar
distance, crystallographic indices of reflecting planes, ultimately,
the shape and size of the crystal lattice.

Fig. 1 Status diagram
State diagrams show steady states, i.e. states that
under these conditions have a minimum of free energy, and therefore it is also
is called an equilibrium diagram, since it shows which, under given conditions
there are equilibrium phases.
The construction of state diagrams is most often carried out using
thermal analysis. As a result, a series of cooling curves is obtained, in which at
at temperatures of phase transformations, inflection points and temperature
stop.
Temperatures corresponding to phase transformations are called critical.
dots. Some critical points have names, for example, points corresponding to
the beginning of crystallization is called liquidus points, and the end of crystallization is called
solidus.
The cooling curves are used to construct a composition diagram in the coordinates: along the abscissa axis
concentration of components, temperature on the ordinate axis. The concentration scale shows
content of component B. The main lines are liquidus (1) and solidus lines
(2), as well as lines corresponding to phase transformations in the solid state (3, 4).
The phase diagram can be used to determine the temperatures of phase transformations,
a change in the phase composition, approximately, the properties of the alloy, the types of processing that
can be used for alloying.
Below are the different types of state diagrams:

Topic: "Studying cast irons"

cast irons; the formation of the ability to decipher the grades of cast iron.
Progress:


Theoretical part
Cast iron differs from steel: its composition has a higher carbon content and
impurities; by technological properties, higher casting properties, low
the ability to plastic deformation, almost never used in welded structures.
Depending on the state of carbon in cast iron, they are distinguished: white cast iron -
carbon in a bound state in the form of cementite, in a fracture it has a white color and
metallic luster; gray cast iron - all or most of the carbon is in
free state in the form of graphite, and in the bound state is no more than 0.8
% carbon. Due to the large amount of graphite, its fracture is gray in color;
half - part of the carbon is in a free state in the form of graphite, but
not less than 2% of carbon is in the form of cementite. Little is used in technology.
Depending on the form of graphite and the conditions of its formation, the following are distinguished:
cast iron groups: gray with lamellar graphite; high-strength with spherical
graphite; malleable with flaky graphite.
Graphite inclusions can be viewed as corresponding to the shape of the void
in the structure of cast iron. Stresses are concentrated near such defects during loading,
the value of which is the greater, the sharper the defect. Hence it follows that graphite
lamellar inclusions soften the metal to the maximum extent. More
the flaky shape is favorable, and the spherical shape of the graphite is optimal.
Plasticity depends on shape in the same way. The presence of graphite is most dramatic
reduces resistance in case of hard loading methods: shock; break. Resistance
the compression decreases a little.
Gray cast irons
Gray cast iron is widely used in mechanical engineering, as it is easy
processed and has good properties. Depending on the strength, gray
cast iron is subdivided into 10 grades (GOST 1412).
Gray cast irons with low tensile strength have a sufficiently high
compression resistance. The structure of the metal base depends on the amount of carbon and
silicon.
Given the low resistance of gray iron castings to tensile and
shock loads, use this material for parts that
are subjected to compressive or bending loads. In machine tool building, these are basic,
body parts, brackets, gear wheels, guides; in the automotive industry blocks
cylinders, piston rings, camshafts, clutch discs. Castings from
gray cast iron are also used in electrical engineering, for the manufacture of goods
consumer consumption.
Marking of gray cast irons: indicated by the index СЧ (gray cast iron) and the number,
which shows the value of the tensile strength multiplied by 101.
13

For example: SCH 10 - gray cast iron, tensile strength 100 MPa.
Malleable cast iron
Good properties of castings are ensured if during crystallization and
cooling of castings in the mold does not occur the graphitization process. To
prevent graphitization, cast irons must have a reduced carbon content and
silicon.
There are 7 grades of malleable cast iron: three with ferritic (KCH 30 6) and four with
pearlite (KCH 65 3) base (GOST 1215).
In terms of mechanical and technological properties, ductile iron occupies
intermediate position between gray iron and steel. The disadvantage of ductile iron
compared with high strength is the limitation of the wall thickness for the casting and
the need for annealing.
Ductile iron castings are used for parts operating under shock and
vibration loads.
Ferritic cast iron is used to make gearbox housings, hubs, hooks, brackets,
clamps, couplings, flanges.
From pearlitic cast irons, characterized by high strength, sufficient
plasticity, forks of cardan shafts, links and rollers of conveyor chains are made,
brake pads.
Malleable iron marking: designated by the KCH index (malleable cast iron) and
numbers. The first number is the tensile strength multiplied by
101, the second number is the elongation.
For example: KCH 306 - ductile iron, tensile strength 300MPa,
elongation 6%.
Ductile iron
These cast irons are obtained from gray ones, as a result of modification with magnesium or
cerium. Compared with gray cast irons, the mechanical properties are improved, this
caused by the absence of uneven stress distribution due to the spherical
forms of graphite.
These cast irons have high fluidity, linear shrinkage of about 1%.
Foundry stresses in castings are slightly higher than for gray cast iron. Izza
high modulus of elasticity, sufficiently high machinability. Possess
satisfactory weldability.
Thin-walled castings (piston rings) are made of high-strength cast iron,
forging hammers, beds and frames of presses and rolling mills, molds,
tool holders, faceplates.
Castings of crankshafts weighing up to 2..3 t, instead of forged steel shafts,
have a higher cyclic viscosity, are insensitive to
external
stress concentrators, have better antifriction properties and
much cheaper.
Ductile iron marking: indicated by the HF index (ductile
cast iron) and a number that indicates the tensile strength value multiplied by 101.
For example: VCh 50 - ductile cast iron with ultimate tensile strength
500 MPa.

2,14%.
Steels are the most common materials. Have good
technological properties. Products are obtained as a result of pressure treatment and
cutting.
The advantage is the ability to obtain the desired set of properties by changing
composition and type of processing.
Depending on the purpose, steels are divided into 3 groups: structural,
instrumental and special steel.
Quality depending on the content of harmful impurities: sulfur and phosphorus steel
subdivided into: steels of ordinary quality, sulfur content up to 0.06% and up to 0.07%
phosphorus; high-quality up to 0.035% sulfur and phosphorus each separately;
high quality up to 0.025% sulfur and phosphorus; especially high quality, up to 0.025%
phosphorus and up to 0.015% sulfur.
Tool steels are designed for the manufacture of various tools,
for both manual processing and mechanical.
Availability of a wide range of manufactured steels and alloys manufactured in
different countries, made it necessary to identify them, however, until now
time, there is no single system for marking steels and alloys, which creates
certain difficulties for the metal trade.
Marking of carbon tool steels
˗
These steels in accordance with GOST 143590 are divided into high-quality and
high quality.
18

Quality steels are designated by the letter U (carbon) and a number indicating
average carbon content in steel, in tenths of a percent.
For example: U7, U8, U9, U10. U7 - carbon tool steel with
carbon content about 0.7%
The letter A is added to the designation of high-quality steels (U8A, U12A and
etc.). In addition, in the designations of both high-quality and high-quality
carbon tool steels, the letter G may be present, indicating
increased content of manganese in steel.
For example: U8G, U8GA. U8A - carbon tool steel with
carbon content of about 0.8%, high quality.
They make a tool for manual work (chisel, center punch, scribe, etc.),
mechanical work at low speeds (drills).
Alloy Tool Steels Marking

about 1.0%, then the corresponding figure at the beginning of its name is usually not indicated.
Let's give examples: steel 4X2V5MF, KhVG, KhVCh.
˗
9Х5ВФ - alloyed tool steel, with a carbon content of about
0.9%, chromium about 5%, vanadium and tungsten up to 1%
High-alloy (high-speed) marking
tool steels
Designated by the letter "P", the following figure indicates the percentage
the content of tungsten in it: Unlike alloy steels in the names
high-speed steels do not indicate the percentage of chromium, because it amounts to
about 4% in all steels, and carbon (it is proportional to the vanadium content).
˗
The letter F, indicating the presence of vanadium, is indicated only if
the vanadium content is over 2.5%.
For example: R6M5, R18, R6 M5F3.

Usually, high-performance tools are made from these steels: drills,
cutters, etc. (to reduce the cost, only the working part)
For example: R6M5K2 - high-speed steel, with a carbon content of about 1%,
tungsten about 6%, chromium about 4%, vanadium up to 2.5%, molybdenum about 5%, cobalt

Brass
Brass can contain up to 45% zinc. Content enhancement
zinc up to 45% leads to an increase in ultimate strength up to 450 MPa. Maximum
plasticity takes place at a zinc content of about 37%.
According to the method of manufacturing products, deformable and foundry brass are distinguished.
Deformable brasses are marked with the letter L followed by a number,
showing the percentage of copper, for example, brass L62 contains 62% copper
and 38% zinc. If, in addition to copper and zinc, there are other elements, then they are put
initial letters (O tin, C lead, F iron, P phosphorus, Mts manganese, A
aluminum, zinc zinc).
The number of these elements is indicated by the corresponding numbers after the number,
showing the copper content, for example, the LAZh6011 alloy contains 60% copper, 1%
aluminum, 1% iron and 38% zinc.
Brasses have good corrosion resistance which can be improved
additionally with tin additive. Brass LO70 1 corrosion resistant in seawater
20

and is called "marine brass". The addition of nickel and iron increases the mechanical
strength up to 550 MPa.
Cast brasses are also marked with the letter L, after the letter designation
the main alloying element (zinc) and each subsequent number is put,
indicating its average content in the alloy. For example, brass ЛЦ23А6Ж3МЦ2
contains 23% zinc, 6% aluminum, 3% iron, 2% manganese. The best
brass of the LTs16K4 brand possesses fluidity. Foundry brasses include brasses
type ЛС, ЛК, ЛА, ЛАЖ, ЛАЖМЦ. Cast brasses are not prone to liquation, have
concentrated shrinkage, castings are obtained with high density.
Brass is a good material for structures operating under
negative temperatures.
Alloys of copper with elements other than zinc are called bronzes. Bronze
Bronze
are subdivided into wrought and casting.
When marking deformable bronzes, the letters Br are put in the first place, then
letters indicating which elements, other than copper, are included in the alloy. After the letters go
numbers showing the content of the components in the float. For example, brand BROF101
means that bronze contains 10% tin, 1% phosphorus, the rest is copper.
Cast bronzes also begin with the letters Br, then indicate
letter designations of alloying elements and a number is put indicating it
average content in the alloy. For example, bronze BrO3Ts12S5 contains 3% tin, 12
% zinc, 5% lead, the rest is copper.
Tin bronzes When copper and tin are fused, solid solutions are formed. These
alloys are very prone to segregation due to the large temperature range
crystallization. Due to segregation, alloys with a tin content above 5% are
favorable for parts such as plain bearings: the soft phase provides
good running-in, solid particles create wear resistance. That's why
pewter bronzes are good anti-friction materials.
Tin bronzes have a low volumetric shrinkage (about 0.8%), therefore
used in artistic casting. The presence of phosphorus ensures good
fluidity. Tin bronzes are subdivided into wrought and cast ones.
In deformable bronzes, the tin content should not exceed 6%, for
ensuring the required plasticity, BrOF6,50,15. Depending on the composition
deformable bronzes are distinguished by high mechanical, anti-corrosion,
anti-friction and elastic properties, and are used in various industries
industry. Bars, pipes, tape, wire are made of these alloys.

Principle of marking aluminum alloys. At the beginning, the type of alloy is indicated: D
duralumin type alloys; And technical aluminum; AK malleable aluminum
alloys; In high-strength alloys; AL casting alloys.
Further, the conditional number of the alloy is indicated. The conditional number is followed by
designation characterizing the state of the alloy: M soft (annealed); T
thermally treated (hardening plus aging); N cold-worked; NS -
semi-standardized.
According to their technological properties, alloys are divided into three groups: wrought
alloys not hardened by heat treatment; wrought alloys, hardenable
heat treatment; foundry alloys. Powder metallurgy methods
produce sintered aluminum alloys (SAS) and sintered aluminum powder
alloys (SAP).
Wrought cast alloys not hardened by heat treatment.
The strength of aluminum can be increased by alloying. Into alloys not hardened
heat treatment, introduce manganese or magnesium. The atoms of these elements are essentially
increase its strength, reducing plasticity. Alloys are indicated: with manganese AMts,
with magnesium AMg; after the designation of the element, its content is indicated (AMg3).
Magnesium acts only as a hardener, manganese hardens and increases
corrosion resistance. The strength of alloys increases only as a result of deformation
in a cold state. The greater the degree of deformation, the more it grows
22

strength and plasticity decreases. Depending on the degree of hardening, a distinction is made between
cold-worked and semi-worked alloys (AMg3P).
These alloys are used for the manufacture of various welded fuel containers,
nitric and other acids, low and medium loaded structures. Deformable
heat-hardened alloys.
These alloys include duralumin (complex alloys of aluminum
copper magnesium or aluminum copper magnesium zinc). They have a reduced
corrosion resistance, to increase which manganese is introduced. Duralumin
usually undergo hardening at a temperature of 500 ° C and natural aging, which
preceded by a two to three hour incubation period. Maximum strength
reached after 4.5 days. Duralumin is widely used in aircraft construction,
automotive industry, construction.
High-strength aging alloys are alloys that, in addition to copper and
magnesium contain zinc. Alloys B95, B96 have a tensile strength of about 650 MPa.
The main consumer is aircraft construction (skin, stringers, spars).

Manganese improves anti-corrosion properties. Nickel and iron increase
heat resistance.
Casting alloys are marked from AL2 to AL20. Silumins are widely used
for the manufacture of cast parts for devices and other medium and lightly loaded
details, including thin-walled castings of complex shape.

penetration of another body into it. In hardness tests, a body embedded in
material and called an indenter must be harder, have certain
size and shape, should not receive permanent deformation. Hardness tests
can be static and dynamic. The first type includes tests
by the indentation method, to the second by the impact indentation. Besides,
There is a method for determining the hardness by scratching, sclerometry.
By the value of the hardness of the metal, you can get an idea of ​​the level of its
properties. For example, the higher the hardness determined by the pressure of the tip, the
less ductility of the metal, and vice versa.
The indentation hardness test consists in the fact that a sample under
the action of the load is pressed in the indenter (diamond, hardened steel, hard
alloy), in the form of a ball, cone or pyramid. After removing the load on
the sample remains an imprint, measuring the value of which (diameter, depth or
diagonal) and comparing it with the dimensions of the indenter and the magnitude of the load, one can judge
about the hardness of the metal.
Hardness is determined using special hardness testers. Most often
hardness is determined by Brinell (GOST 901259) and Rockwell (GOST 901359) methods.
There are general requirements for sample preparation and testing
by these methods:
1. The surface of the sample must be clean and free from defects.
2. Samples must be of a certain thickness. After receiving the print on
the reverse side of the sample should not show any signs of deformation.
3. The sample should be firm and stable on the table.
4. The load should act perpendicular to the surface of the sample.
Determination of Brinell hardness
The Brinell hardness of the metal is determined by indentation into a sample of a hardened

steel ball (Fig. 1) with a diameter of 10; 5 or 2.5 mm and are expressed by the number of hardness
HB obtained by dividing the applied load P in N or kgf (1N = 0.1 kgf) by
surface area of ​​the imprint formed on the sample F in mm
The Brinell hardness number HB is expressed by the ratio of the applied load F

Figure 2 shows a diagram of a lever device. The sample is set on
stage 4. Rotating the handwheel 3, lift the sample with the screw 2 until it touches
it with the ball 5 and further until the full compression of the spring 7, put on the spindle 6. The spring
creates a preload on the ball equal to 1 kN (100 kgf), which provides
stable position of the specimen during loading. Then include
electric motor 13 and through the worm gear of the gearbox 12, the connecting rod 11 and the system of levers
8.9, located in the housing 1 of the hardness tester with weights 10 creates a given full load
on the ball. A spherical impression is obtained on the test piece. After unloading the device
the sample is removed and the diameter of the print is determined with a special magnifier. For the calculated diameter
print take average arithmetic value measurements in two mutually
perpendicular directions.

Using the above formula, using the measured indentation diameter,
the hardness number HB is calculated. Hardness number depending on the diameter obtained
indentation can also be found in tables (see table of hardness numbers).
When measuring hardness with a ball with a diameter of D = 10.0 mm under a load of F = 29430 N

When measuring Brinell hardness, keep in mind the following:
1.
It is possible to test materials with a hardness of not more than HB 4500 MPa, since at
greater hardness of the sample, an unacceptable deformation of the ball itself occurs;
2.
To avoid punching, the minimum sample thickness should not be
less than ten times the depth of the print;

The distance between the centers of two adjacent prints must be at least
The distance from the center of the indentation to the lateral surface of the sample should be
Determination of Rockwell hardness
According to the Rockwell method, the hardness of metals is determined by indentation into the test
sample of a hardened steel ball with a diameter of 1.588 mm or a diamond cone with an angle at

The Rockwell hardness number (HR) is a measure of the indentation depth of the indenter and
expressed in conventional units. The unit of hardness is taken as a dimensionless value,
corresponding to an axial displacement of 0.002 mm. Rockwell hardness number
indicated directly by an arrow on the C or B scale of the indicator after the automatic
removing the main load. The hardness of the same metal, determined by different
methods are expressed in various units of hardness.
For example, HB 2070, HRc 18 or HRb 95.

The Rockwell method is distinguished by its simplicity and high productivity, provides
preservation of a high-quality surface after testing, allows you to test metals and
alloys, both low and high hardness. This method is not recommended for
alloys with a heterogeneous structure (gray cast irons, malleable and high-strength,
antifriction bearing alloys, etc.).

2. Complete the instructor's assignment.
3. Make a report according to the assignment.
Theoretical part
The main mechanical properties are strength, elasticity, toughness,
the designer reasonably chooses
hardness.
appropriate material that ensures the reliability and durability of structures when
their minimum mass.
Knowing the mechanical properties,
Mechanical properties determine the behavior of the material during deformation and
destruction from the action of external loads. Depending on loading conditions
mechanical properties can be determined when:
1. Static loading, the load on the sample increases slowly and smoothly.
29

2. Under dynamic loading, the load increases at a high speed, has
shock character.
3. Repeatedly alternating or cyclic loading the load in the process
the test varies many times in magnitude or in magnitude and direction.
To obtain comparable results, samples and procedures
mechanical tests are regulated by GOSTs. In a static test on
tensile: GOST 1497 obtain the characteristics of strength and ductility.
Strength is the ability of a material to resist deformation and destruction.
Plasticity is the ability of a material to change its size and shape under
the influence of external forces; the measure of plasticity is the amount of permanent deformation.
The device that determines strength and ductility is a tensile testing machine,
which records the stress-strain diagram (see Fig. 4) expressing the relationship between
specimen elongation and acting load.
Rice. 4. Stretch diagram: a - absolute, b - relative.
Section oa in the diagram corresponds to the elastic deformation of the material when
Hooke's law is respected. Stress corresponding to elastic limit deformation
at point a is called the proportionality limit.
The proportional limit is the highest voltage before reaching
which Hooke's law is valid.
At voltages above the proportional limit, a uniform
plastic deformation (lengthening or narrowing of the section).
Point b - elastic limit - the highest stress, before reaching which in
no permanent deformation occurs in the sample.
The cd area is the yield point, it corresponds to the yield point - this is
stress at which an increase in deformation occurs in the sample without an increase
loads (material "flows").
Many grades of steel, non-ferrous metals do not have a pronounced area
yield strength, therefore, a conditional yield point is set for them. Conditional
yield stress is the stress that corresponds to permanent deformation
equal to 0.2% of the original length of the sample (alloy steel, bronze, duralumin and
other materials).
Point B corresponds to the ultimate strength (a local
thinning is a neck, the formation of thinning is characteristic of plastic materials).
30

Tensile strength is the maximum stress that a sample can withstand.
before resolution (temporary tensile strength).
Behind point B, the load falls (due to neck elongation) and destruction
occurs at point K.
