New cards
Diffusion by which mechanism occurs more rapidly in metal alloys?

\
A) Vacancy diffusion

B) Interstitial diffusion
B) Interstitial Diffusion

\
In metal alloys, interstitial diffusion takes place more rapidly than vacancy diffusion because the interstitial atoms are smaller and are more mobile. Also, there are more vacant adjacent interstitial sites than there are vacancies.
2
New cards
Self-diffusion is atomic migration in pure metals. Interdiffusion is diffusion of atoms of one metal into another metal.

\
True or False
True
3
New cards
As temperature decreases, the fraction of total number of atoms that are capable of diffusive motion

\
Increase or Decrease
Decrease

\
As temperature decreases, the fraction of the total number of atoms that are capable of diffusive motion decreases
4
New cards
If \[m\] atoms of helium pass through a \[a\] square meter plate area every \[t\] hours, and if this flux is constant with time, compute the flux of helium in units of atoms per square meter per second.

  

A) J = At/M 

B) J = A/(Mt)

C) J = M/(At)

D) J = Mt/A

 

 
C) J = M/(At)

*(A) 5.7 x 10-2 m2/s                 (C) 4.7 x 10-13 m2/s*

*(B) 9.4 x 10-17 m2/s               (D) 3.9 x 10-2 m2/s*

6
New cards
After an edge dislocation has passed through some region of a crystal, the atomic arrangement of

that region is disordered.

\
True or False
False

\
Before and after an edge dislocation has passed through some region of a crystal, the atomic

arrangement is ordered and perfect. It is only during the passage of the extra half-plane that there is

disorder.
7
New cards
The process by which plastic deformation is produced by dislocation motion is called ____.
Slip
8
New cards
Relative to the direction of an applied shear stress, the direction of motion of an edge dislocation’s line is 

\
Parallel or Perpendicular
Parallel

\
The direction of motion of an edge dislocations’ line is parallel to the direction of applied shear stress.
9
New cards
The atoms surrounding a screw dislocation experience what kind(s) of strain(s)?

\
A) Shear strains

B) Compressive strains

C) Tensile strains

 
A) Shear Strains

\
The atoms surrounding a screw dislocation experience only shear strains.
10
New cards
Dislocations move with the same degree of ease on all crystallographic planes of atoms and in all crystallographic directions?

\
True or False
False

\
Dislocations do not move with the same degree of ease on all crystallographic planes of atoms and in all crystallographic directions. Crystallographic planes and directions along which dislocations move are those that are most closely packed with atoms.
11
New cards
Reducing the grain size of metal improves toughness.

\
True or False
True

\
Reducing the grain size of a metal improves its toughness.
12
New cards
Most metals strain harden at room temperature.

\
True or False
True

\
Most metals strain harden at room temperature.
13
New cards
Grain growth must always be preceded by recovery and recrystallization.

\
True or False
False

\
Grain growth does not always need to be preceded by recovery and recrystallization; it may occur in materials that have not been cold worked.
14
New cards
If %CW of low carbon steel increases, yield strength decreases.

\
True or False
False

\
Yield strength (*σ****y***) increases.
