Q

What are the 2 types of solid solutions?

A

Substitutional and Interstitial

24
Q

What happens to metals in a solid solution

A

They completely mix

25
Q

What happens to metals in intermetallic?

A

There are specific sites for each atom within the lattice

26
Q

What are properties of solid solution?

A

Enhance ductility

27
Q

What are properties of intermetallic?

A

Increased hardness and brittle

28
Q

Properties of eutectic?

A

Weak and corrodes

29
Q

Why are there 2 types of solid solutions?

A

As it depends on size of solute particles

30
Q

When do we get substitutional solids?

A

Solute particle DIRECTLY substitutes solvent particle.

  • Atoms have similar valency
  • Atom size within 15% of each other
  • Atoms have similar crystal structure
31
Q

Gimme example of substitutional solid?

A

Gold and copper

32
Q

When do we get intestitial solid solutions

A

When solute atoms take small space between solvent atoms

-Solute atoms must be 60% smaller than solvent atoms

33
Q

Gimme example of Interstitial solid

A

Steel+Carbon

34
Q

How do we get intermetallic compound

A

2 metals react to form a new component at a stoichiometric ratio

35
Q

Give example of intermetallic compound

A

Amalgam

36
Q

What state of matter do intermetallic compounds form in

A

Can happen in solids as we get diffusion in metals

37
Q

What happens in Diffusion of metals

A

Exchange of position of atoms in lattice

38
Q

Why do eutectic alloys form?

A

As some metals are completely insoluble in metal phase.

39
Q

How is eutectic alloy similar to a pure metal?

A

Crystallises at a specific temperature as opposed to over a range of temperatures

40
Q

What can rapid cooling of alloys give?

A

Separation of metals

41
Q

What does homogenous annealing do?

A

Uniform microstructure

42
Q

What type of structure is formed when metals resolidify?

A

Dendritic

43
Q

How do we get deformation of grains?

A
  1. Distort lattice

2. Slip

44
Q

Define slip

A

Movement of vacacines, imperfections to the edge of structure

45
Q

What happens when we deform metal?

A

Increased yield strength
increased hardness
-Th crystals will WARP

46
Q

Name 3 types of imperfections in a ALLOY lattice?

A
  • Substitutional atom
  • Interstitial atom
  • Vacancy
47
Q

What happens when we beat out imperfections in slip?

A

The imperfections move through metal one plane at a time. The force applied does not cause fracture/failure of lattice

48
Q

What happens to the lattice structure when we make a wrought alloy?

A

It gets DEFORMED

-We exceed elastic limit of metal

49
Q

What is residual stress? (Strain hardening)

A

Occurs in the grains when we have distorted the lattice and caused grain deformation

50
Q

What type of lattice in a wrought allow

A

Deformed

51
Q

What happens when we heat wrought structure? (Annealing)

A

Grain Growth
Grain relaxation
Diffusion of atoms

52
Q

How much stress is there in an extensively wrought structure?

A

More residual stress as more deformation to the lattice

53
Q

Temperature or recrystallization in an extensively wrought structure?

A

Lower

54
Q

Japanese Katana sword.
Fast cool of steel gives?
Slow cool of steel gives?

A

Fast=Martinsite

Slow= Pearlite

55
Q

What steel in sword is softer and tougher

A

Pearlite

56
Q

What material controls the cooling rate of the steel in the sword?

A

Clay
