Common Lattice Types:

All metals used in a reactor have crystalline structures. The Crystalline microstructures are arranged in 3-dimensional arrays known as lattices.  This lesson will discuss the three most general lattice structures and their features.

DEFINE the subsequent terms:

a. Crystal structure

b. Body-centered cubic structure

c. Face-centered cubic structure

d. Hexagon al close-packed structure

STATE the three lattice-type structures in metals.

Given a description or drawing DISTINGUISHES among the three most general categories of crystalline structures.

IDENTIFIES the crystalline structure possessed through a metal.
