BCC

8.8
A crystal structure with atoms at each cube corner and one at the center
  • noun
  • Specialized
translation icon : estructura cúbica centrada en el cuerpo
  • In a BCC structure, atoms are located at the corners and the center of the cube.
  • BCC structure
  • BCC phase
  • FCC and BCC

Examples

  • There is a crystal structure transition from FCC to BCC with the increase of Al content.

    Academic text (2018)

  • The crystal lattice constants of both FCC and BCC phases vary with Al content fluctuation (Fig. 2).

    Academic text (2018)

  • Therefore, Al has been termed as a BCC former 40.

    Academic text (2018)

  • And for this, for the BCC structure, it's the body diagonal.

  • So for tantalum we're looking at BCC structure.

  • Thus, their yield and tensile strengths increase with the phase fraction of BCC positively related to Al content.

    Academic text (2018)

  • At the same time, the increase in strength and hardness sacrifices elongation due to the brittle BCC phases.

    Academic text (2018)

  • The reason for selecting Al is that Al is a BCC stable element that can introduce the BCC phase and enhance the strength of the CrCoNi MEA by tailoring the phase constituents.

    Academic text (2018)

  • Finally, the single equiaxed BCC phases are exhibited in Al-1 and Al-1.2 (Fig. 3h and 3i) alloys.

    Academic text (2018)

  • The properties of materials change significantly when they adopt a BCC arrangement.

Etymology

BCC stands for body-centered cubic, with body-centered meaning 'center of the body' and cubic meaning 'cube'. So BCC names a crystal where one atom sits in the center of a cube of atoms, which helps explain the metal's properties.
