Questions and Answers

Why are alloys generally preferred over pure metals in engineering work?

  • Alloys are cheaper to manufacture than pure metals
  • Alloys have a higher melting point than pure metals
  • Alloys have superior mechanical properties compared to pure metals (correct)
  • Alloys are easier to produce than pure metals

What is the interstitial type of alloying?

  • Alloy elements are located in spaces between atoms in the unit cell (correct)
  • Alloy elements replace some of the atoms in the crystal lattice
  • Alloy elements are evenly distributed within the crystal lattice
  • Alloy elements form separate crystalline structures within the material

Why are ordinary steels, which are alloys of iron and carbon, preferred over pure iron?
