31 Terms

1

Fracture

A material failure mode in which the solid part is separated into two or more pieces due to an applied stress that is static and at low temperatures

New cards
2

Fatigue

A form/mode of material failure that occurs in materials subjected to dynamic and fluctuating stresses (cyclic stresses)

New cards
3

Endurance/Fatigue Limit

The stress below which fatigue will not occur

New cards
4

Fatigue Life

The number of cycles required to cause fatigue failure of the material when subjected to a specific stress level

New cards
5

Fracture Toughness (Kic)

A measure of the material's resistance to brittle fracture in the presence of a crack

New cards
6

Ductile Fracture

This occurs in ductile materials where a plastic deformation is developed in the material before the initiation of the crack

New cards
7

Brittle Fracture

It occurs in brittle materials where a very small or no plastic deformation occurs before the initiation of the crack

New cards
8

Creep

A mode of material failure that is time dependent and permanent deformation of the material when subjected to a constant load or stress

New cards
9

Solubility Limit

The maximation concentration of solute (impurity) atoms that may dissolve in the solvent (host substance) to form a solid solution at some specific temperature.

New cards
10

Phase Transformation

the change in the phase of the material upon altering (or changing) temperature or pressure

New cards
11

Isothermal Transformation

A phase transformation process in which the temperature of the alloy is held constant throughout the duration of the transformation

New cards
12

Equilibrium Cooling

a process in which the cooling of an alloy occurs very slowly wherein phase equilibrium is continuously maintained

New cards
13

Nonequilibrium Cooling

a process in which the cooling of an alloy occurs at rates higher than the diffusional rates required for the compositional readjustments of the alloy. Nonequilibrium cooling results in gradient compositions for one or more of the phases.

New cards
14

Pearlite

a lamellar structure consisting of alternating layers of alpha ferrite and cementite (Fe3C)

New cards
15

Bainite

a non-lamellar structure consisting of alpha ferrite matrix and elongated particles (needles) of cementite (Fe3C)

New cards
16

Spheroidite

is a microstructure of steel consisting of alpha ferrite matrix and spherical like particles of cementite (Fe3C)

New cards
17

Fatigue Strength

the stress level at which failure will occur for some specified number of cycles

New cards
18

Solvus Line

a line of the solid solubility limit, separating one solid phase from the solid mixture with another solid phase in a phase diagram

New cards
19

Solidus Line

the line that separates the solid phase from the solid-liquid mixture in a phase diagram

New cards
20

Liquidus Line

the line that separates the liquid phase from the solid-liquid mixture in a phase diagram

New cards
21

Phase Diagram

a graphical representation of the relationships among temperature (and sometimes pressure), composition, and quantities of the phases of an alloy

New cards
22

Phase

A homogeneous portion of an alloy system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics

New cards
23

Solute

one component of a solid solution (an alloy) system that has a low concentration and dissolves into a host materials

New cards
24

Solvent

one component of a solid solution (an alloy) system that is the hosting material with the highest concentration.

New cards
25

Solid Solution

a new solid that is formed by adding a substance of a low concentration

(acting as a solute) to a hosting material (acting as a solvent). The crystal structure of the hosting material is maintained, and no new structures are formed.

New cards
26

Alloying

the process of adding impurities to the metal to form a solid solution of better properties

New cards
27

Alloy

a chemical compound of a high concentration of a metal element and other elements including

New cards
28

Isomerism

the phenomenon by which two or more polymer molecules have the same composition but different structural arrangements and properties.

New cards
29

Monomer

A stable molecule from which a polymer is synthesized.

New cards
30

Red Hardness

The material ability to maintain its hardness at elevated temperatures.
