MATERIALS AND PACKING

• tend to be densely packed.
• have several reasons for dense packing:
-Typically, only one element is present, so all atomic
radii are the same.
-Metallic bonding is not directional.
-Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in
order to lower bond energy.
• have the simplest crystal structures.
We will look at three such structures...

• large atomic mass
Ceramics have...
• less dense packing
(covalent bonding)
• often lighter elements
Polymers have...
• poor packing
(often amorphous)
• lighter elements (C,H,O)
Composites have...
• intermediate values Data from Table B1, Callister 6e.
DENSITIES OF MATERIAL CLASSES
17
• Some engineering applications require single crystals:
• Crystal properties reveal features
of atomic structure.

--Ex: Certain crystal planes in quartz
fracture more easily than others.
--diamond single
crystals for abrasives
--turbine blades

CRYSTALS AS BUILDING BLOCKS
18
• Most engineering materials are polycrystals.
• Nb-Hf-W plate with an electron beam weld.
• Each "grain" is a single crystal.
• If crystals are randomly oriented,
overall component properties are not directional.
• Crystal sizes typ. range from 1 nm to 2 cm
(i.e., from a few to millions of atomic layers).

POLYCRYSTALS
19
• Single Crystals
-Properties vary with
direction: anisotropic.
-Example: the modulus
of elasticity (E) in BCC iron:
• Polycrystals
-Properties may/may not
vary with direction.
-If grains are randomly
oriented: isotropic.
(Epoly iron = 210 GPa)
-If grains are textured,
anisotropic.
E (diagonal) = 273 GPa
E (edge) = 125 GPa

• Atoms may assemble into crystalline or
amorphous structures.
• We can predict the density of a material,
provided we know the atomic weight, atomic
radius, and crystal geometry (e.g., FCC,
BCC, HCP).
• Material properties generally vary with single
crystal orientation (i.e., they are anisotropic),
but properties are generally non-directional
(i.e., they are isotropic) in polycrystals with
randomly oriented grains.
