True or false 1.Direction of mixed dislocation is parallel to burger vector. False. it is neither parallel nor perpendicular.

2.Tilt boundary is associated with edge dislocation. True. When edge dislocation align in same direction tilt boundary exits.

3.Resolved shear stress is zero when applied stress is parallel to given slip system. True. Hall-Patch equation.

4.Solid- solution is metal strengthening process. True. It decreases lattice strain.

5.Every metal strain hardens at room temperature. False. Metals such as lead and tin do not strain harden at room temperature because their re-crystallization temperatures lie below room temperature.

6.FCC metals are more brittle than HCP metals. False. HCP metals are typically more brittle than FCC metals because there are fewer slip systems in HCP.

7. Tcrss increases with increasing the impurity. True. Because as impurity increases strength of metal increases.

8. Burger vector changes direction when dislocation change its direction and nature(e.g. screw to mixed to edge dislocation). False.

9.The magnitude of the strain fields decreases as we move away from the dislocation. True.

10.Surface energy decreases with increase in planar density. True. As the planar density increases, the number of nearest atoms in the plane increases, which results in an increase in the number of satisfied atomic bonds in the plane, and a decrease in the number of unsatisfied bonds. Since the number of unsatisfied bonds diminishes, so also does the surface energy decrease. Q. State and explain Hume Rothery Rules. Ans: 4 factors are a)Size of solute-If atomic diameter of the solute atoms differ by more than 15% from the solvent then extent of primary solid solution formation is small. In such cases, size factor is unfavourable for extensive solid solution formation. b)Crystal structure of solute and solvent-Same cystal structures of solvent and solute promotes formation of solid solution. c)Electrochemical effect between solute and solvent-The more electropositive one is and the more electronegative the other, greater tendency exists for compound formation. Less tendency exists for solid solution formation. d)Relative Valency Effect-A metal of higher valency is more likely to dissolve to a large extent in a lower valency one than vice versa.

Numerical Q. Calculate the volume of an BCC unit cell in terms of the atomic radius R. A1. the atoms touch one another across a body-diagonal the length of which is 4R. Since the unit cell is a cube, its volume is a2 where a is the cell edge length. From the right triangle, 2a2 + a2 = (16R2) so a = 4R/ (3) 1/2 The BCC unit cell volume Vc may be computed from VC = a3 = 64R3 * 27-3/2 .
