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 Hâ‚‚O. 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.
