Jan Exam Flashcards
What is the equation for secondary creep strain rate?
Strain rate = K*sress^n *e^(-Q/RT)
What temperature does strain rate occur?
T>0.4Tm
How can you find Q? Graphically.
Gradient of ln(strain rate) v 1/T
T in Kelvin
Gradient = -Q/R
How can you find n? Graphically
Gradient of ln(strain rate) v ln(stress)
Gradient = n
What is Larson Miller Parameter used for?
Extrapolation
What is the equation for LMP?
LMP = T(C+logtr)
Where tr = rupture lifetime (in hours)
C normally equals 20
How do you find LMP?
From a graph, tr can then be calculated from it.
How is creep strain related to time?
Strain = Strain rate * time
Is creep strain total strain?
NOOO!
Total strain = creep strain + steady state/instantaneous/primary
Normally given
How would i take 1.5x10^6 as a strain rate?
Make it 0.15x10-7 and use that value on the graph.
What type of brackets are used for directions?
Square for individual, triangular for family
What brackets are used for planes?
circle for individual and curved for family
How do you find interceptions of planes?
Planes given in miller indices,
Interception = 1/miller indices.
Note: if infinite then it doesnt touch that axis.
What is linear density?
Number of atoms centred on vector/length of vector
Note: number means throughout whole of cube in that direction.
What is planar density?
Number of atoms centred on plane/ Area of plane
How is a related to r in BCC
root3 a = 4r
How is a related to r in FCC
root2 a = 4r
What is the atomic packing factor?
Volume of atoms in cell / Volume of cell
Note: atoms volume = 4/3 Pi r^2
Volume of cell = a^3
What is the equation for theoretical density?
density = Number of atmos * Atomic mass / Volume of cell * Avogadros number
Note: number of atoms in FCC = 4 BCC=2
Avogadros Number = 6.02x10^23
What wt%C do Cast Irons have?
2.14 - 4.5% (after steels)
What are the types of cast iron?
Gray, nodular, white, malleable, compact graphite
How do you get pearlitic maleable cast iron?
Fast cooled hot white cast iron.
How do you get Ferritic maleable cast iron?
Slow cooled hot white cast iron
What does higher damping capacity do?
Reduce chatter
What type of castings are there?
Sand, Die, Investment, Continuous, Fabrication
What Aluminium alloys are heat treatable?
2, 6, 7
What Aluminium alloys are Strain hardened?
1, 3, 5, 8
What is precipitation hardening also called?
Age hardening
