Calibration, Standards, Safety (refer to the ME Laboratory booklet) An MSDS (Materials Safety Data Sheet): a. contains potential health hazards of the chemical; b. contains the manufacturers name; c. must be available for all employees; d. all of the above In order to have confidence in measurements, the measuring device should be: a) less than 10 years old; b) calibrated and certified; c) be guaranteed by the manufacturer to be accurate Calibration is the process of estimating a measuring devices uncertainty (error) True/false Standardized tests: a) help assure validity of testing; b) help communication regarding test procedures; c) helps prevent “reinventing the wheel”; d) allows for availability of standard test specimens; e) all of the above. Tensile Testing Cold rolling AISI 1045 steel decreases the strength (compared to hot rolled): true, false A “reasonable” strain in an aluminum test specimen near its yield strength would be: a) 0.0048 in b) 0.0048 in/in c) 48,000 psi d) 48,000 ksi In a standard tensile test, the ultimate tensile strength is equal to: (define) Young’s Modulus (Modulus of Elasticity) of aluminum is: a) less than steel, b) about the same as steel, c) greater than steel Which of the following properties cannot be obtained from a stress-strain curve: a. Young’s modulus; b. Poisson’s ratio; c. yield strength; d. tensile strength Cold Working and Annealing of Copper The “recovery” process that occurs during the annealing: a. decreases the number of dislocations; b. increases the number of dislocations; c. has no effect on dislocations Annealing strain hardened copper causes it to: a. get harder; b. get softer; c. does not change hardness Strain hardening causes dislocation density to: a. increase significantly (creates dislocations); b. decrease significantly (annihilate dislocations); c. not change significantly The rate of recryst
