Study Notes

Failure Chapter

Values in relation to metal alloys are tabulated in Table 8.4.
S-590 alloy component (Figure 8.32) must have a creep rupture lifetime of at least 100 days at 500°C (773 K). Maximum allowable stress level needs to be computed.
S-590 alloy component (Figure 8.32) subjected to a stress of 200 MPa (29,000 psi). Temperature at which rupture lifetime is 500 h needs to be calculated.
18-8 Mo stainless steel (Figure 8.35). Time to rupture for a component stressed at 80 MPa (11,600 psi) at 700°C (973 K) needs to be predicted.
18-8 Mo stainless steel component (Figure 8.35) exposed to 500°C (773 K). Maximum allowable stress level for a rupture lifetime of 5 years and 20 years needs to be calculated.

Phase Diagrams Chapter

The graph shows the phase diagram for pure H₂O. External pressure (vertical axis, scaled logarithmically) versus temperature (horizontal axis)
Regions for the three phases (solid ice, liquid water, and vapor steam) are delineated by red curves.
Photographs of each phase (ice cubes, water, steam from a kettle) are shown in the diagram.

Phase Diagrams Chapter - Learning Objectives

Schematically sketch simple isomorphous and eutectic phase diagrams.
Label various phase regions, liquidus, solidus, and solvus lines on these diagrams.
Given a binary phase diagram, alloy composition, temperature, and equilibrium conditions determine phases present, composition of each phase, and mass fractions of each phase.
Locate temperatures and compositions of eutectic, eutectoid, peritectic, and congruent phase transformations.
Write reactions for these transformations under heating or cooling conditions.
Given the composition of an iron-carbon alloy containing between 0.022 wt% C and 2.14 wt% C, determine if the alloy is hypoeutectoid or hypereutectoid, name the proeutectoid phase, compute the mass fractions of proeutectoid and pearlite, and make a schematic diagram of the microstructure just below the eutectoid.
Understanding phase diagrams for alloy systems, microstructure-property relationships, and various phenomena like melting, casting, and crystallization.

Solubility Limit Chapter

Components are pure metals or compounds of which an alloy is composed (e.g., Cu and Zn in a copper-zinc brass).
A solid solution consists of atoms of at least two different types; solute atoms occupy either substitutional or interstitial positions in the solvent lattice.
A solubility limit is the maximum concentration of solute atoms that can dissolve in a solvent to form a solid solution at a specific temperature.
Solubility limit of sugar in water varies with temperature. Higher temperatures yield higher concentrations of dissolved sugar. (Figure 9.1.)

Phases Chapter

A phase is a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics.
A system with more than one phase has separate, distinct phases separated by boundaries where properties change abruptly.
A single-phase system is considered homogeneous; systems with multiple phases are heterogeneous.

Microstructure Chapter

Microstructure is the arrangement of the phases in an alloy.
The number of phases, their relative amounts, and their arrangement influence the properties of an alloy.
Observing the microstructure using optical or electron microscopes.
Alloying elements, concentrations, and heat treatments affect microstructure.
