DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLIP AND TWINNING
Slip (1)
|
Twinning (2)
| |
(i) Orientation
|
The orientation of the crystal
above and below the slip plane remains same after deformation. |
Twin causes orientation
difference in the crystal across the twin plane. |
(ii) Movement
during the process |
Slip usually occurs in discrete
multiples of atomic spacing. |
The movement of atoms are
much smaller in comparison to atomic spacing. |
(iii)
deformation planes and directions |
Slip occurs on relatively wide
planes.Usually, the slip plane is the plane of greatest atomic density,and the slip direction is the closest packed direction within the slip plane. |
In twinning, every atomic plane is
involved in the deformation in the twinned region of the crystal. For each crystal twin occurs in a definite direction on a specific crystallographic plane |
(iv) time
|
Slip takes several million seconds
to occur, i.e. there is a delay time of several million seconds prior to forming of one slip band. |
Twins can form in a few micro-seconds only.
|
(v) stress
|
Slip takes place when the shearing
stress on the slip plane in the slip direction reaches a threshold value called the critical resolved shear stress. |
Resolved critical shear stress in
twinning almost has no role. |
(vi) Number
|
Slip lines may be present in even or
odd numbers. |
Twin lines always occur in pairs.
