Chapter 8 Flashcards
Metal Structures can combine to form what 3 forms and are referred to as atoms
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Increase in temperature in metal will cause atoms to?
vibrations of the atoms continue to increase causing the spacing to increase and the metal to expend. once the interatomic spacing is so great the atoms are no long attached enough to form a specific structure and become liquid
Further heating would eventually turn the liquid into a gas (vapor point)
Decrease in temperature in metal will cause atoms to?
move closer together in turn causing the metal to contract
What is the internal energy and interatomic spacing
Solid Metal?
Liquid Metal?
Gas?
Solid Metal
- Lowest internal energy and shortest interatomic spacing
Liquid Metal
-Higher internal energy and greater interatomic spacing
Gas
- Considered Unstructured - Highest internal energy and greatest interatomic spacing
When a metal solidifies it always does so in a
A metal solidifies in to a(an) _________ by a process know as?
crystalline pattern
Nucleation & Growth

Unit cell
The most common crystal structures or phases in metals are…
BCC - Body-centered cubic
FCC - Face-centered cubic
HCP - Hexagonal close packed
BCC?
Which metals?
Body-centered cubic

HCP
Which metals?
Hexagonal close packed

Allotropic
A metal crystal possessing different structures but the same chemical composition
Mechanical properties can be dependent upon…?
The GRAIN size of the Materials
Fine-grained materials are preferred for what type of temurature
Because?
Room and low temperature services
They generally exhibit better ductility, notch toughness and fatigue properties.
Coarse-grained materials are preferred for what type of temperature
Higher Temperatures
Metals are___________ __________ formed by atoms in an ________ _________ . This arrangement is know as a ________ and is described as a ______ ____
Crystalline structures
ordered patterns
phases
unit cell
The junction between individual grains are referred to as a
Grain boundary
The grain size will dictate?
The amount if grain boundary are present
& determines to a certain degree the mechanical properties of the metal.
Smaller atoms such as carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen tend to occupy sites Between the atoms that form the lattice structure of the base metal
interstitial allowing
