What is Dislocation of Metals?

When the atoms are out of the original position (dislocated) inside the crystal structure, the phenomena is called Dislocations of Metals. It is likely to be happened when a stress is applied on metals' crystal structure. This is a linear defect. There are mainly two types of Dislocation of Metals.
1. Edge Dislocation
2. Screw Dislocations
Dislocation of Metals is hindered by grain boundaries.
