Q

What is solidification?

A

molten material cooling, crystals forming and growing unitl they meet. The result is a grain structure

17
Q

What is the equation for the equilibrium number of vacancies in a material?

A 
Nv/N=e^(-Q/kT)
Nv: number of defects per unit volume
N: number of potential defect sites per unit volume
Q: activation energy
k: boltzman constant
T: temperature

N=pNa/A
p: density
Na: Avogadro’s number 6.02210^23
A: atomic weight (g/mol)

18
Q

What are the conditions for a substitutional solid solution?

A
  1. difference in radius less than 15%
  2. Proximity in periodic table (similar electronegatives)
  3. Same crystal structure for pure metals
  4. Higher valency
19
Q

What is the burger’s vector?

A

measure of lattice distortion

20
Q

What are the types of point defects in solids?

A

vacancy, interstitial, substitutional

21
Q

What are the types of 1D or line defects in solids?

A

edge and screw dislocations

22
Q

What are types of 2D or area defects in solids?

A

grain boundaries, stacking faults

23
Q

What measurement can you see with optical microscopy at 2000x magnification?

A

about 1 micron

24
Q

Can you see unit cell edge lengths with optical microscopy?

A

no

25
Q

What is diffusion?

A

Introducing a foreign atom into a host material

26
Q

What are the two mechanisms of diffusion?

A
  1. vacancy/substitutional

2. interstitial

27
Q

What is Fick’s first law?

A

Steady state diffusion:
J=M/(At)
J=-D*dC/dx

28
Q

What is Fick’s second law?

A

Non steady state diffusion:

Cx-C0/(Cs-C0) = 1 - erf(x/(2sqrt(Dt))

29
Q

What does diffusion equation reduce to if everything is constant except for time and temperature?

A

D1t1=D2t2
