    Deeper questions

    The following questions require some thought and reaching the answer may require you to think beyond the contents of this TLP.

    1. Explain why the intersection of two screw dislocations is important to work hardening.
    Answer

    The intersection of two screw dislocations produces jogs of edge orientation in both screw dislocations which can only move by climb. Because dislocation climb is a thermally activated process, the movement of the jogged screw dislocation will be temperature-dependent. At temperatures where climb cannot occur, the motion of screw dislocations will be impeded by jogs (i.e. the jogs are sessile) and so the crystal becomes work hardened.
