Practice Problems # 2 Solution Question 1: 1.

For each of edge, screw and mixed dislocations, cite the relationship between the direction of the applied shear stress and the direction of dislocation line motion. 2. Briefly explain why some metals (e.g. lead and tin) do not strain harden when deformed at room temperature. 3. Briefly explain why small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle grain boundaries. 4. Can dispersion-strengthened materials be used at high temperature? Explain. Solution 1. edge dislocation--parallel screw dislocation--perpendicular mixed dislocation--neither parallel nor perpendicular 2. Metals such as lead and tin do not strain harden at room temperature because their recrystallization temperatures lie below room temperature (Table 7.2). 3. Small-angle grain boundaries are not as effective in interfering with the slip process as are high-angle grain boundaries because there is not as much crystallographic misalignment in the grain boundary region for small-angle, and therefore not as much change in slip direction. 4. Yes. Because the particles used in dispersion strengthening are usually inert so they dont coarsen upon heating.

Question 2: 7.15 calister 8th A single crystal of a metal that has the FCC crystal structure is oriented such that a tensile stress is applied parallel to [110] direction. If the critical resolved shear stress for this material is 1.75 MPa, calculate the magnitude(s) of applied stress (es) necessary to cause slip to occur on the (111) plane in each of the , and directions.

The lower yield point for an iron that has an average grain diameter of 5x10-2 mm is 135 MPa (19,500 psi). At a grain diameter of 8x10-3 mm, the yield point increases to 260 MPa (37,500 psi). At what grain diameter will the lower yield point to be 205 MPa (30,000 psi)?

Question 4: A cylindrical 1040 steel rod having a minimum tensile strength of 865 MPa, a ductility of at least 10%EL, and a final diameter of 6.0mm is desired. Some 7.94mm diameter 1040 steel stock, which has been cold worked 20%, is available. Describe the procedure you would follow to obtain this material. Assume that 1040 steel experiences cracking at 40%CW. Solution

Question 5: 7.D1 calister 8th Determine whether it is possible to cold work 1040 steel so as to give a minimum Brinell hardness of 225, and at the same time have a ductility of at least 12% EL. Justify you decision.

Question 6: (a) Briefly cite the differences between recovery and recrystallization processes. (b) Explain the differences in grain structure for a metal that has been cold worked and one that has been cold worked and then recrystallized. (a)

(b) 7.35 During cold-working, the grain structure of the metal has been distorted to accommodate the
deformation. Recrystallization produces grains that are equiaxed and smaller than the parent grains.

Question 7: 7.38 calister 8th The average grain diameter for a brass material was measured as a function of time at 6500C, which is shown in the following table at two different times:

Time (min) 30 90

GrainDiameter (mm) 3.9x102 6.6x102

(a) What was the original grain diameter?

(b) What grain diameter would you predict after 150 min at 650C?

Question 8: 16.12 calister 8th .. In an aligned and continuous glass fiber-reinforced nylon 6, 6 composite, the fibers are to carry 94% of a load applied in the longitudinal direction. (a) Using the data provided, determine the volume fraction of fibers that will be required. (b) What will be the tensile strength of this composite? Assume that the matrix stress at fiber failure is 30 MPa (4350 psi).
