ENGN 45 name_______________________________________________ Midterm Spring 2011 put your class number in the circle CCSF – ET Dept Kaufmyn Put your answers in the space provided. If you need more space, you have the wrong answer! All answers must be clear, complete and concise. If I can’t read your handwriting, you receive zero points. What is one technique that is employed to enhance the creep resistance of metal alloys? Briefly explain why HCP metals are typically more brittle than FCC and BCC metals? Briefly cite the differences between recovery and recrystallization processes.  Two previously undeformed cylindrical specimens of an alloy are to be strain hardened by reducing their cross-sectional area (while maintaining their circular cross sections). For one specimen, the initial and deformed radii are 16mm and 11mm, respectively. The second specimen, with an initial radius of 12mm, must have the same deformed hardness as the first specimen; compute the second specimen’s radius after deformation. Determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration of 0.45 wt% at a position 2 mm into an iron-carbon alloy that initially contains 0.20 wt% C. The surface concentration is to be maintained at 1.30 wt% C, and the treatment is to be conducted at 1000oC. ( R = 8.31 J/mol K)Note: For this system Do = 2.3 x 10 –5 m2/s Qd = 148kJ/mol Why is the diffusivity, D, larger for carbon in ferrite (bcc iron) than for carbon in austenite (fcc iron)?  Why is carbon more soluble in austenite (fcc iron) than in ferrite (bcc iron)? For an FCC crystal, such as aluminum, would you expect the surface energy for a (100) plane to be greater or less than that for a (111) plane? Why?  Calculate the radius of a vanadium atom, given that V has a BCC crystal structure, a density of 5.96 g/cm3, and an atomic weight of 50.9 g / mol.
