Study Notes
Corrosion Resistance Concepts
- Sacrificial anode/galvanic corrosion/cathodic protection: Zinc (Zn) has a lower electrode potential than iron (Fe), preventing Fe corrosion.
- Role of chloride ions in pitting corrosion: Chloride ions break down the passive chromium oxide layer on stainless steel, initiating pitting.
- Aluminum reactivity: Aluminum (Al) is reactive but highly resistant due to a large passive region on the Pourbaix diagram.
- Crack tip stress: A longer crack with a smaller tip radius has a higher maximum stress.
- Ductile vs. brittle notch sensitivity: Ductile materials absorb more energy due to plastic deformation and crack tip blunting, thus being less sensitive.
- High vs. low cycle fatigue: High cycle fatigue occurs at stress levels below yield stress, while low cycle is above it.
Material Properties and Processes
- Temperature increase in nickel plating: Increased temperature reduces the diffusion rate of oxygen in nickel plate.
- Cold work and recrystallization: Cold work introduces internal strain energy, requiring cold work for recrystallization, with resulting increase in ductility.
- Recovery: Internal strain energy is reduced & dislocations rearrange, with no changes in grain structure.
- Recrystallization: New strain-free grains form the microstructure and lowers yield stress.
- Interstitial vs. vacancy diffusion: Interstitial diffusion is generally faster for smaller atoms.
- Bainite: Non-equilibrium/metastable phase, not shown on an iron-iron carbide phase diagram.
- Eutectoid vs. pro-eutectoid ferrite: Pro-eutectoid ferrite forms above eutectoid temp in hypoeutectoid steel, while pearlite, including eutectoid ferrite, below.
- Aluminum corrosion resistance: Aluminum's corrosion resistance stems from passivation (oxide layer formation) on the Pourbaix diagram.
Material Selection and Processing
- BCC vs. FCC Metals: BCC metals are more brittle at lower temperatures, needing more thermal energy for dislocation movement. FCC metals are close packed, more ductile, and use CPP (close-packed planes) and CPD (close-packed directions).
- Plastic polymer cross-linking: Cross-linked polymers have higher strength than linear polymers due to stronger covalent bonds reducing sliding.
- Polymer Brittleness: At lower temperatures, polymers become brittle because thermal energy for rotation around carbon bonds is insufficient.
- Noble metals: Noble metals (e.g., gold) exhibit high corrosion resistance due to their high oxidizing potential and resistance to oxidation in pure water.
- Gold-coated steel oxidation: Gold coating protects the underlying steel from oxidation.
Strengthening Mechanisms
- Solute atoms stress fields: Larger solute atoms create compressive stress fields, while smaller ones create tension fields, impacting dislocation movement.
- Recovery, Recrystallization, and Grain Growth: Recovery reduces internal strain energy, recrystallization generates new grains, and grain growth enlarges them.
- Four Strengthening Mechanisms: Cold work, precipitation, solute, and grain size strengthening all make dislocation motion difficult.
- Age Hardening: The strength initially increases as particles precipitate and get larger, then decreases due to particle growth and increased spacing.
Phase Transformations
- BCC to ductile-brittle transformation: BCC metals lack close-packed planes (CPP).
- Martensite transformation: Diffusionless, very fast transformation, does not depend on time (horizontal on TTT diagrams).
