Exam 2: Chapters 5 & 6 Flashcards
On a stress strain graph, where is the plastic region?
along the straight line
True or false?
Diffusion along grain boundaries is generally faster than through the crystal lattice regardless of which diffusion mechanism is considered.
True
Al and Ni are both FCC. The melting temperature of Al is 419 degrees C while the melting temperature of Ni is 1453 degrees C. At 400 degrees C, which one would you expect to have the faster self diffusion rate?
Aluminum
How would you expect the diffusion coefficient, D, to change for the following changes in a diffusion situation?
- Temp increase
- diffusing species (solute) changed to one that is smaller
- material being diffused through (solvent) changes from FCC to HCP
- D increases
- D increases
- no change in D
Hot work
Permanent deformation of metals and alloys above the temperature at which a strain-free microstructure is produced continuously (recrystallization temperature).
Cold Work
strain-hardening
Annealing
A heat treatment used on a metal to soften it.
Extrusion
A plastic-forming process in which a material under high pressure is reduced in cross section by forcing it through an opening in a die.
Forging
A primary-processing method for working metals into useful shapes in which the metal is hammered or pressed into shape.
Wire drawing
A process in which wire stock is drawn through one or more tapered dies to the desired cross section.
True or false
Hardness decreases with the amount of cold work performed?
False
True or false
The diffusion coefficient, D, generally gets smaller in value as the size of the diffusing species (solute) is made smaller.
False
Hardness
A measure of the resistance of a material to permanent deformation.
Slip
The process of atoms moving over each other during the permanent deformation of a metal.
Slip system
A combination of a slip plane and a slip direction.
Deformation twinning
A plastic deformation process in which a large group of atoms is displaced to form a region of a metal crystal lattice that is a mirror image of a similar region.
True or false
Carburizing a metal’s surface makes it harder , stronger, and more ductile?
False
What is a consequence of cold working?
decrease in ductility
elongated grains
increases in strength and hardness
True or false
Carbon diffuses faster through FCC iron than it does through BCC iron
False
List some strengthening methods
- reducing grain size
- cold work
- solid solution strengthening
What is a consequence of recrystallization?
equiaxed grains
decrease in hardness
decrease in stregth
True or false
Diffusion is generally faster when it is substitutional type versus interstitial type.
False
True or false
For a ductile material, the engineering stress-engineering strain curve for a tensile test reaches a maximum when the specimen begins to neck. This peak value is the ultimate tensile strength.
True
True or false
A casting is generally not worked after it is solidified
true
Why do strengthening mechanisms increase yield stress?
Strengthening mechanisms modify the crystalline structure of the material in such a way that it takes more applied stress to get them to move
