I love the demo, it's so versatile and a surprisingly accurate analogue! We used different sized bubbles to simulate interstitial and substitutional impurities (kind of, interstitial doesn't work as much in 2d). We outlined grain boundaries, and observed dislocations not passing grain boundaries. All in all, a fun lab class. Steve Mould has a video doing a similar thing with ball bearings getting vibrated and simulating the annealing process.

i've seen this demonstration with little metal beads, but never with bubbles. it's pretty amazing how you set it up to make all the bubbles the same size

[@AlphaPhoenixChannel]

Yeah the metal beads are awesome for showing how repulsion between atoms causes spontaneous ordering (crystallization) but they aren't sticky enough to easily get motion behavior like dislocations gliding effortlessly through. I wasn't lying when I said my jaw hit the floor when I first saw Bragg's lecture video using bubbles. It's so ludicrously cool. Also don't look too close at some of the shots if you think all of my bubbles were successfully the exact same size lol.......... It's actually pretty fun to see what crystal defects you get when you do have different sizes - you can get weird sized bubbles stuck to dislocations (or dislocations stuck to weird sized bubbles) because they relieve some of the strain associated with having an extra half-plane of atoms wedged in the crystal.

What I am loving in particular about the bubble demo versus the the steel ball demo, is that the bubbles have some give (like atomic bonds) so I feel that the resulting effect is more analogous to a crystal structure. Now if only we could think of a way to extend this model to build intuition about heat treatment of carbon steel...

I’ve yet to find a good succinct explanation for solid state welding, that one’s tough.

[@costynvd]

The compression and tension demo with the bubbles is so cool! I feel enlightened. Thank you!

[@GodlikeIridium]

This demo is so beautiful! And a great way to explain metallic bonds. Metals are easily deformable because there are no fixed bonds like in organic molecules or ionic bonds, instead the electrons are pretty much a cloud around the metal cores. Which is also the reason why they easily conduct electricity.

[@Jack-vq9we]

That's so cool! You can literally see the hole in the material propagate through, it makes so much more sense now. Nice video man.

[@BreakingTaps]

Watching the defects propagate in the bubble raft was such a satisfying way to vizualize how the crystal structure behaves. Very cool, thanks for sharing! How does work hardening play into this? Does the crystal lattice "settle" into a more energetically favorable configuration over time and become less able to propagate defects without fracturing?

[@AlphaPhoenixChannel]

Hey! what a coincidence - I just was recommended one of your videos the other day (slow motion of chatter) which was AWESOME by the way! Work hardening unfortunately isn't very obvious in this 2D example. Real dislocations in metals are line defects in a 3D volume, not 1D defects on a 2D plane (imagine this bubble raft stacked up vertically over and over again) and when dislocations run into each other, they can actually halt each others' movement and they basically get wrapped around each other. Because there are so many weird stretched bonds around a dislocation core, they don't really like each other. When a material work hardens, you basically fill it with SO MANY dislocations that they get wound around each other, forming a dense net, and preventing more dislocations from gliding. without the ability to glide past each other smoothly, the planes of atoms end up just breaking apart!

[@BreakingTaps]

​@@AlphaPhoenixChannel Hehe, small youtube world :) Someone on the VacuumHackers Discord recommended your channel to me the other day and I've been dutifully binging through your back-catalog. Lots of great stuff! And I can't imagine the dedication to get some of them working (ice crystals, or setting up that Fizeau experiment)... pretty sure I would have thrown in the towel long before I got it working :) Ah nifty, that's exactly the opposite mechanism I was expecting. I figured things would slide around until everything just clicked into proper crystal positioning and then it froze up. But it makes a lot more sense that it's actually a tangle of dislocations stacking up and keeping everything from moving around cleanly. I suppose that explains why annealing can help undo work hardening (in some metals), presumably the added heat energy allows the dislocations to smooth back out and untangle. Neat!
