If stress is reapplied, the material again responds elastically at the beginning up to a new yield point that is higher than the original yield point. The amount of elastic strain that it will take before reaching the yield point is called elastic strain recovery. Elastic Recovery During Plastic Deformation

4 Plastic Deformation of a Single Crystal When the applied force increases, it may break the bonds of the atoms to produce a fracture, or cause the atoms to slide over one another to produce a permanent shift. For brittle materials the first mechanism requires lower forces, but for ductile metals the second one occurs more easily. Plastic slip occurs most easily in densely packed planes that are widely spaced apart and along directions of closest packing. The specific combination of plane and direction is called a slip system. Each lattice structure has a specific number of slip systems which determines the ease with which a crystal can be deformed. Slip System Preferred planes for dislocation movement (slip planes) Preferred crystallographic directions (slip directions) Slip planes + directions (slip systems) ‡highest packing density. Distance between atoms shorter than average; distance perpendicular to plane longer than average. Far apart planes can slip more easily. BCC and FCC have more slip systems compared to HCP: more ways for dislocation to propagate Þ FCC and BCC are more ductile than HCP. Superplasticity of Nanoscaled Copper Cleavage Some minerals split along flat surfaces when struck hard ¾ this is called mineral cleavage. A mineral cleavage is the way it breaks. Minerals tend to break where the bonds holding the atoms together in the crystal are the weakest. When they break, a series of surfaces parallel to these bonds may form; the surfaces are called cleavage planes. Other minerals break unevenly along rough or curved surfaces ¾ this is called fracture A few minerals have both cleavage and fracture Mineral Cleavage This is the tendency of minerals to break along smooth planes. Cleavage in one direction Cleavage in two directions at right angles Cleavage in three directions at right angles Cleavage in three directions not at right angles Cleavage in four directions Some minerals lack cleavage ( like quartz) Cleavage is related to the atomic structure of the mineral Mineral Cleavage and Crystal Form

Memory Metal Memory metal is a nickel-titanium alloy. This piece has been formed into the letters ICE, heat-treated, and cooled. When the memory metal is pulled apart, it deforms. When placed into hot water, the metal "remembers" its original shape, and again forms the letters ICE. How the Memory Metal Rivet Automatically Soldered The steel spring easily compresses the memory metal spring when it is in the low-T martensite phase. Fluid transmission As the temperature increases, the NiTi spring remembers its extended shape (it transforms into the austenite phase) and becomes rigid, and thus forces the steel spring to compress so that the pathway for transmission fluid through the valve is opened

7 Despair Cool weather Warm weather What¢s Shaped Memory Alloys? Shape Memory Alloys (SMA's) are novel materials that have the ability to return to a predetermined shape when heated. When a SMA is cold, or below its transformation temperature, it has a very low yield strength and can be deformed quite easily into any new shape-which it will retain. However, when the material is heated above its transformation temperature it undergoes a change in crystal structure, which causes it to return to its original shape. Shaped Memory Effect At a low temperature, a SMA can be seemingly “plastically” deformed, but this “plastic” strain can be recovered by increasing the temperature. This is called the Shape Memory Effect (SME). At a high temperature, a large deformation can be recovered simply by releasing the applied force. This behavior is known as Superelasticity (SE). (a) Shape Memory Effect and (b) Superelasticity Definition of a Shape Memory Alloy Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a unique class of metal alloys that can recover apparent permanent strains when they are heated above a certain temperature. Different phases of SMA The SMAs have two stable phases - the high-temperature phase, called austenite and the low-temperature phase, called martensite. In addition, the martensite can be in one of two forms: twinned and detwinned. A phase transformation which occurs between these two phases upon heating/cooling is the basis for the unique properties of the SMAs. The key effects of SMAs associated with the phase transformation are pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect. Upon cooling in the absence of applied load the material transforms from austenite into twinned (self-accommodated) martensite. As a result of this phase transformation no observable macroscopic shape change occurs. Upon heating the material in the martensitic phase, a reverse phase transformation takes place and as a result the material transforms to austenite.
