Coordination Number, Packing Factor and Slip Systems in BCC, FCC and HCP Structures

Coordination Number, Packing Factor and Slip Systems in BCC, FCC and HCP Structures

https://engineers.academy/

This video outlines different crystalline structures including body centred cubic (BCC), face centred cubic (FCC) and hexagonal close packed (HCP).

The tutorial explains how to determine coordination number and packing factor for each unit cell and explains how this can influence the properties of the material.

Finally, slip systems are discussed for each structure by first identifying the slip planes and slip directions of each plane. Again, this is related to the properties of given materials.
