The 31 pages that link to Dislocation, each with the reason it gives.

• MetallurgyRelated: Dislocation motion underlies the strength and ductility of many metals.

• Yield strengthRelated: Dislocation motion is a principal mechanism of yielding in crystalline metals.

• HardnessRelated: Dislocations govern much of the plastic flow resisted during indentation.

• Plastic deformationRelated: Dislocation motion lets crystals deform permanently at stresses far below those needed to shear a perfect lattice.

• DuctilityRelated: Dislocation motion enables crystalline metals to deform plastically before fracture.

• FatigueRelated: Repeated movement of dislocations contributes to microscopic fatigue damage.

• Brittle fractureRelated: Limited dislocation motion helps explain low plasticity in brittle materials.

• Polycrystalline materialRelated: Grain boundaries impede or redirect dislocation motion across grains.

• CrystalliteRelated: Dislocations within crystallites influence their strength and diffraction patterns.

• MisorientationRelated: Low-angle misorientations can be accommodated by arrays of dislocations.

• IntermetallicRelated: Dislocation motion is often difficult in ordered phases because it can disturb chemical order.
