Diszlokációnövekedés

Diszlokációnövekedés refers to the process by which dislocations, which are line defects in crystalline materials, increase in number or length. This phenomenon is a fundamental aspect of plastic deformation in metals and other crystalline solids. When a material is subjected to stress, existing dislocations can move and multiply, leading to macroscopic changes in shape.

There are several mechanisms by which dislocation multiplication can occur. The Frank-Read source is a classic example, where a pinned dislocation segment can generate multiple new dislocations by bowing out and forming closed loops. Other mechanisms include the formation of new dislocations from grain boundaries or surfaces, and interactions between existing dislocations that can create new ones.

Dislocation multiplication is crucial for understanding how materials deform plastically. Without multiplication, the stress required to cause significant plastic deformation would be much higher, as each dislocation would have to travel a long distance. The rate and type of dislocation multiplication are influenced by factors such as temperature, strain rate, and the presence of impurities or alloying elements in the material. Studying diszlokációnövekedés is important in materials science for predicting and controlling the mechanical properties of materials, such as their strength and ductility.
