EXAMINATION 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⫸ Precipitate growth Answer: Occurs mainly by long range diffusion
redistribution of atoms.
⫸ Solubility limit Answer: Once exceeded, alloys can be dispersion
strengthened.
⫸ Widmanstätten Structure Answer: Basket weave pattern that permits
faster growth rates, lower ductility, and good fracture toughness.
⫸ Coherent Precipitates Answer: Precipitates crystal planes are
continuous with crystal planes of the matrix.
⫸ Age / precipitation hardening Answer: Produced by a sequence of
phase transformations that leads to uniform dispersion to increase yield
strengths.
⫸ Disadvantage of Age Hardening Answer: Precipitates dissolve at high
temperatures.
