(b) work or strain hardening.
(c) a drop in the yield stress.: (b) work or strain hardening.
11. Which of the following elements are most likely to form interstitial solid
solutions?
(a) copper
(b) nickel
(c) carbon: (c) carbon
12. If FCC iron has a denser structure than BCC iron, why does it have a higher
solubility
for carbon?: The preferred site for carbon in BCC iron is smaller than that in FCC
iron.
13. If two metals have complete mutual solid solubility how many phases are
formed in the
solid— one ortwo?: One
14. How many phases are there in a eutectic—one or two?: Two
15. Without referring to the text, draw the phase diagram for a eutectic system
with limited
mutual solid solubility of the two components.: Refer to Figure 6.6.
16. Using the portion of the iron—carbon phase diagram in Figure 6.10, use
the lever rule to
determine the percentage of ferrite and eutectoid pea rlite present in a slowly
cooled
0.2% carbon steel.: About 25% pearlite and 75% ferrite. Here the tie line begins at
0.0%C (a ferrite) and
ends at 0.08%C (pearlite).
The fulcrum for the lever rule is at 0.2%C
% pearlite = (0.2%C — 0.0%C)I(0.8%C — 0.0%C) x 100%
% pearlite = (0.2/0.8) x 100%
% pearlite = 25%
17. Which of the following metals has the highest work hardening coefficient?
(a) 70/30 brass
(b) aluminum
(c) copper
(d) low carbon steel: a
18. True or False?
Recrystallization always involves the formation of a new phase.: False
19. To get recovery and recrystallization the metal must have been previously
(a) quenched.
