1、Describe the following iron based alloys in terms of the range of compositions (particularly
carbon) and typical mechanical properties.
a. Plain carbon steel e. Gray cast iron
b. Low, medium and high carbon steel f. Stainless steels: ferritic, austenitic,
martensitic
c. Cast iron g. Hypo-eutectoid steel
d. White cast iron h. Hyper-eutectoid steel
2、Describe, in general terms, the composition, structure, mechanical properties and formation
of the following phases found in steels:
a. Ferrite d. Martensite
b. Pearlite e. Austenite
c. Cementite f. Graphite
3、Describe, in general terms, the following standard types of heat treatments in terms of the
processing, microstructure produced, and mechanical properties for steel:
a. Normalize e. Martemper
b. Temper f. Austemper
c. Quench g. Stress relieve
d. Austenitize h. Anneal
4、Why do alloys possessing high hardenability often have poor weldability (usually due to
weld cracking)?
5、What role does carbon play in the formation of martensite? Can pure iron be austenitized
then quenched to form martensite?
6、How does austenite grain size effect hardenability?
7、What is the A3 temperature and why is it different for the different alloys being investigated? |
