Grain Diameter (MM) Strength (Mpa) : 0.015 170 Mpa 0.025 158 Mpa 0.035 151 Mpa 0.050 145 Mpa

This document provides 9 questions related to atomic and ionic arrangements in materials. The questions cover topics like calculating vacancy concentrations in copper at different temperatures, determining planar densities and interplanar spacings in BCC iron and FCC aluminum, calculating resolved shear stresses, relating yield strength to grain size using the Hall-Petch equation, and designing a single crystal aluminum rod for a sensor application.

Tutorial 5 Atomic and Ionic Arrangements MTSH500

1. Calculate the concentration of vacancies in copper at room temperature (25°C). What temperature will
be needed to heat treat copper such that the concentration of vacancies produced will be 1000 times
more than the equilibrium concentration of vacancies at room temperature? Assume that 20,000 cal are
required to produce a mole of vacancies in copper.
2. Calculate the number of vacancies per cm3 expected in copper at 1080°C (just below the melting
temperature). The energy for vacancy formation is 20,000 cal/mol.
3. Calculate the length of the Burgers vector in copper.
4. The planar density of the (112) plane in BCC iron is 9.94 × 1014 atoms/cm2. Calculate (a) the planar
density of the (110) plane and (b) the interplanar spacings for both the (112) and (110) planes. On
which plane would slip normally occur?
5. Determine the interplanar spacing and the length of the Burgers vector for slip on the expected slip
systems in FCC aluminium. Repeat, assuming that the slip system is a (110) plane and [111] a
direction. What is the ratio between the shear stresses required for slip for the two systems? Assume
that k = 2 in Equation 4-2.
6. We wish to produce a rod composed of a single crystal of pure aluminium, which has a critical resolved
shear stress of 148 psi. We would like to orient the rod in such a manner that, when an axial stress of
500 psi is applied, the rod deforms by slip in a 45° direction to the axis of the rod and actuates a sensor
that detects the overload. Design the rod and a method by which it might be produced.
7. A single crystal of an FCC metal is oriented so that the [001] direction is parallel to an applied stress of
5000 psi. Calculate the resolved shear stress acting on the (111) slip plane in the [1 1 0], [0 1 1] and
[10 1] slip directions. Which slip system(s) will become active first?
8. The yield strength of mild steel with an average grain size of 0.05 mm is 20,000 psi. The yield stress of
the same steel with a grain size of 0.007 mm is 40,000 psi. What will be the average grain size of the
same steel with a yield stress of 30,000 psi? Assume the Hall-Petch equation is valid and that changes
in the observed yield stress are due to changes in grain size.
9. A copper-zinc alloy has the followingproperties
Grain Diameter (mm) Strength (MPa)
0.015 170 MPa
0.025 158 MPa
0.035 151 MPa
0.050 145 MPa
Determine
(a) the constants in the Hall-Petch equation; and
(b) the grain size required to obtain a strength of 200 MPa.
