Description
The concepts underlying solid solution strengthening depend on the atomic arrangement in the metallic solid crystal structure. If you are familiar with the arrangement of atoms and Crystal structure, you may also review the topic in Honeycombe & Bhadesia. In this module the atomic arrangements in metals will be introduced. A 3D model of metallic crystal structures will be used to interact with the atoms. Then, the most common metallic crystal structures like FCC and HCP will be presented and explained in detail.
Finally, iron allotropic will be defined.
