A single crystal of zinc is oriented for a tensile test such that its slip plane normal makes an angle of 65 degree with the tensile axis. Three possible slip directions make angles of 30 degree , 48 degree , and 78 degree with the same tensile axis. a. Which of these three slip directions is most favored? b. If plastic deformation begins at a tensile stress of 2.5 MPa (355 psi), determine the critical resolved shear stress for zinc.

Answer:

a. 30°

b. 0.9MPa

Explanation:

The slip will occur along that direction for which the Schmid factor is maximum. The three possible slip directions are mentioned as 30°, 48°, 78°

The cosines for the possible λ values are given as

For 30°, cos 30 = 0.867

For 48°, cos 48 = 0.67

For 78°, cos 78 = 0.21

Among the three-calculated cosine values, the largest cos(λ) gives the favored slip direction

The maximum value of Schmid factor is 0.87. Thus, the most favored slip direction is 30° with the tensile axis.

The plastic deformation begins at a tensile stress of 2.5MPa. Also, the value of the angle between the slip plane normal and the tensile axis is mentioned as 65°

Thus, calculate the value of critical resolved shear stress for zinc:

From the expression for Schmid’s law:

τ = σ*cos(Φ)*cos(λ)

Substituting 2.5MPa for σ, 30° for λ and 65° for Φ

We obtain The critical resolved shear stress for zinc, τ = 0.9 MPa

The most favored slip direction and the critical resolved shear stress for zinc are repsectively; 30° direction and τ = 0.9 MPa

What is the slip direction of the crystal structure?

A) We are given the three possible slip direction angle as; 30°, 48° and 78°.

The cosines for the possible slip angles are;

For 30°; cos 30 = 0.867

For 48°; cos 48 = 0.67

For 78°; cos 78 = 0.21

The most favored slip will be the direction for which the Schmid factor (cosines of angles) is maximum.

From the three cosine values above, the largest is λ = 30° and as such it is the most favored slip direction.

B) We are given;

Tensile stress; σ = 2.5MPa.

The angle between the slip plane normal and the tensile axis; Φ = 65°

Thus, critical resolved shear stress for zinc is;

τ = σ*cos(Φ)*cos(λ)

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

τ = (2.5*cos(65)*cos(30)

τ = 0.9 MPa
