Examen Final Flashcards
Thermoset polymers result from a “phase transformation” reaction which generates only a low degree of spatial crosslinking.
FALSE
Undercooling is defined as the difference of Treal minus Tequilbrium
FALSE
Bainite is a coarser microstructure than pearlite, and thus harder and tougher.
FALSE
Malleable cast iron is the result of heat-treating a white cast iron which typically has a carbon equivalent of 3 to 3.4%
TRUE
The Avrami equation (K-J-M-A) is a mathematical model of the effect of time on a phase transformation process at a given temperature.
TRUE
When adding lateral groups to a polymer, as the case of PVC instead simple polyethylene, the transition temperature increases and as well as its ability to crystallize.
TRUE
The Weibull distribution is a statistical function that is used, amongst many other applications, to predict the hardness of ceramic of Volumen V0 whose material has a characteristic stress S0 and a sensitivity exponent m.
FALSE
For recrystallization to occur on annealing of a metallic alloy, a minimum amount of temperature is required, otherwise grain growth will set in.
FALSE
In XYZZ designation of steels (AISI-SAE) X is the type of the steel, Y the modification and ZZ the carbon content in hundredths of a per-cent
TRUE
In a two-phase material consisting of a matrix and secondary particles that exist in thermodynamic equilibrium the larger particles tend to integrate smaller once (large particles
“eat” little once). Why is this tendency?
R=Because the surface energy increases with D 2 and internal energy decreases with D 3
The dihedral angle between two phases is what controls the rate of transformation of
the new phase.
FALSE
The speed at which the martensitic transformation occurs is controlled by diffusion in the solid alloy.
FALSE
Sinterization is a solid state process which densifies a particulate material. The processis self-diffusion driven, diffusion which arises because of a:
R= surface energy reduction.
Atactic polymers tend to be less crystalline than the isotactic or syndotactic once.
TRUE
Titanium has a higher specific stiffness than steels.
FALSE
Copper alloys can be strengthened by deformation, solid solution, grain size reduction,
and / or precipitation of secondary phase particles.
TRUE
Homogenization is a product of the redistribution of solute in the solid material as it is
cooled during certain periods of time.
FALSE
The PVC and polystyrene are more resistant than polyethylene because links within their chains are stronger.
FALSE
The dihedral angle formed between two adjacent phases is a function of their melting
temperatures.
FALSE
A simple, binary, eutectic phase diagram presents only one solid phase.
FALSE
Get high hardness and
toughness simultaneously in martensite.
TEMPERING
Reach maximum hardness in steels.
QUENCHING
Soften metals which produce precipitates on slow cooling.
HOMOGENIZIRING
Relieve residual stresses.
PRONCESS ANNEALING
Hardening solid solutions by precipitation.
AGEING
Improve machinability of steels with medium and high carbon.
SPHEROIDIZING.
Recrystallize cold worked
microstructures.
ANNEALING
Refine grain size.
NORMALIZING
Maximize strength and
toughness in medium carbon steels.
