Notations for Positions of Atoms | Crystal Structure | Metallurgy

The positions of the atoms in a unit cell describe completely the crystal structure. It is useful to learn now certain rules and notations to describe geometry in and around a unit cell, such as describing lattice positions, lattice directions and planes, because certain planes and directions in metallic crystal structures play very important role in understanding the plastic deformation, [...]

Common Crystal Structures in Metals | Metallurgy

In this article we will discuss about the most common crystal structures in metals:- 1. Body Centred Cubic (BCC) Crystal Structure 2. Face Centred Cubic Crystal Structure 3. Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP) Crystal Structure. Metals are normally crystalline, or rather in solid state, they are almost synonymous to crystalline state. But their crystalline nature is seldom apparent (from the surface outlook) [...]
