, 1. (6 pts) List the three types of imperfections, or defects, we see in crystalline metals and
provide an example of each type.
Point - vacancy or substitutional or interstitial
Line - dislocation
Planar - grain boundary or surface
2. (5 pts) You are given an alloy containing 100 g of Fe and 2 g of C.
a. Determine the composition of the alloy in weight percent.

b. Determine the composition of the alloy in atomic percent knowing the atomic mass of Fe is
55.85 g/mol and of C is 12.01 g/mol.

3. (4 pts) We wish to diffusion bond Cu and Zn. If the heat treatment is carried out at 300°C,
what is the diffusion coefficient for Cu diffusing into Zn? What is the diffusion coefficient for Zn
diffusing into Cu?
