FUNDAMENTALS
Metals are not perfect neither at the macrolevel and nor at the microlevel
Contain a number of different types of crystalline defects (at the atomic level)
Defects are important in many processes e.g. diffusion, deformation

TYPES OF DEFECTS
A. POINT DEFECTS OR ZERO-DIMENSIONAL DEFECTS

are needed to see this picture.
1. VACANCY2. SELF-INTERSTITIAL
Important in diffusion
In pure metals In alloys
1. SUBSTITUTIONAL IMPURITY2. INTERSTITIAL IMPURITY
Important in strengthening

B. Line defects or one-dimensional defects
Edge dislocation
Screw dislocation
VERY IMPORTANT IN PLASTIC DEFORMATION

Some basics on alloys
Two types
Solid solutions CompoundsE.g. Fe3C, CuAl2
