Question

TRUE or FALSE? (Write T or F in the space provided)                                                 

1. Brass is an example of interstitial solid solution while plain carbon steel is an example of substitutional solid solution.                                                                                                                      (     )

2. Steel grade AISI 1045 contains 4.5% carbon.                                                                                (     )

3. Presence of beach marks on a fracture surface indicates a fatigue failure mode.                           (     )

4. FCC structure is more densely packed than the BCC structure.                                                    (     )

5. Critical Resolved Shear Stress (CRSS) is a property of material, which indicates the minimum amount of shear stress needed to initiate slip (permanent deformation).                                              (     )

6. When impact test temperature is below the so-called ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) the fracture mode changes from ductile (fibrous) to brittle (crystalline) fracture.                                     (     )

7. Cup and cone failure could be obtained in tension testing of a cured cement bar.                                    (     )

8. Recrystallization is a process that involves the nucleation and growth of new, strain free grains within the matrix of highly deformed cold worked grains.                                                                    (     )

9. Quenching causes the soft, FCC austenite phase to transform into hard, BCT martensite phase.                                                                                                                                                             (     )

10. Material with ASTM grainsize #8 has finer crystals than that with a grainsize of ASTM #5.     (     )
