Real
materials differ from ideal single crystals by being polycrystalline, of
finite size, and by containing defects of various types. This change in
the structure of the material has a profound
effect on its properties, and hence its utility in engineering applications. This section will introduce the important structural differences possessed by real materials and look at some of their effects on useful properties. |
