The defects, which take place due to dislocation or distortion of atoms along a line, in some direction, are called as line defects.
LINE DEFECTS (OR DISLOCATIONS) ✓ The defects, which take place due to dislocation or distortion of atoms along a line, in some direction, are called as line defects. ✓ Line defects are also called dislocations. In the geometric sense, they may be called as one dimensional defects. ✓ Dislocations are caused due to the following reasons: (i) Growth accidents, (ii) Internal thermal stress, (iii) External stresses causing plastic flow, (iv) Phase transformations, (v) Segregation of atoms causing mismatches, etc. ✓ The two basic types of dislocations are: (a) Edge dislocation, and (b) Screw dislocation. These dislocations are responsible for the useful property of ductility in metals, ceramics and polymers.1. What are Line Defects?
