Crystals as Building Blocks
• Some engineering applications require single crystals:

crystals for abrasives

• Properties of crystalline materials
often related to crystal structure.

along some crystal planes than
others.

Polycrystals
• Most engineering materials are polycrystals.

• Each "grain" is a single crystal.
• If grains are randomly oriented,
Isotropic
overall component properties are not directional.
• Grain sizes typically range from 1 nm to 2 cm
(i.e., from a few to millions of atomic layers).

-Properties may/may not
vary with direction.
-If grains are randomly
oriented: isotropic.

Tin (Its Allotropic Transformation)
White (or beta) tin, having a body-centered tetragonal crystal structure at room
temperature, transforms, at 13.2°C (55.8°F), to gray (or alpha) tin, which has a
crystal structure similar to diamond.
The rate at which this change takes place is extremely slow; however, the lower the
temperature (below 13.2°C) the faster the rate.
This transformation results in:
Increase in volume (27 %), and, a decrease in density (from 7.30 g/cm3 to 5.77 g/cm3).
Consequently, this volume expansion results in the disintegration of the white tin metal
into a coarse powder of the gray allotrope.
This produced some rather dramatic results in 1850 in Russia. The winter that year
was particularly cold, and record low temperatures persisted for extended periods of
time. The uniforms of some Russian soldiers had tin buttons, many of which crumbled
because of these extreme cold conditions, as did also many of the tin church organ

pipes. This problem came to be known as the “tin disease.”
3.7 Iron has a BCC crystal structure, an atomic radius of
0.124 nm, and an atomic weight of 55.85 g/mol. Compute and
compare its theoretical density with the experimental value
found inside the front cover.
3.8 Calculate the radius of an iridium atom, given that Ir has
an FCC crystal structure, a density of 22.4 g/cm3, and an
atomic weight of 192.2 g/mol.

Crystal Structure and Crystal System
Q. What is the difference between crystal structure and crystal
system?
A: A crystal structure is described by both the geometry of,
and atomic arrangements within, the unit cell, whereas a
crystal system is described only in terms of the unit cell
geometry. For example, face-centered cubic and bodycentered cubic are crystal structures that belong to the cubic
crystal system.
