This single phase of the iron-carbon phase diagram can have up to 2.14 wt% carbon

Of all of these phases, which phase contains the most carbon

Consider a metal single crystal oriented such that the normal to the slip plane and the slip direction are at angles of 60° and 35°, respectively, with the tensile axis. If the critical resolved shear stress is 6.2 MPa, will an applied stress of 20 MPa cause the single crystal to yield? If not, what stress will be necessary?

What is the composition of an iron–carbon alloy for which the fraction of total ferrite is 0.86?

Use the TTT diagram below and assume that the initial temperature is 760 ˚C What is the nature of the microstructure, in terms of 1) microconstituents present and 2) approximate percentages of the microconstituents when the specimen is rapidly cooled to 600°C, held for 50 seconds, rapidly cooled to 350°C, held for 1000 seconds, then quenched to room temperature?

An unidentified material has a yield strength of 230 MPa with an average grain diameter of 1.0×10-2 mm. At a yield strength of 275 MPa, the same material has an average grain diameter of 6×10-3mm. Calculate the average grain diameter (in mm) when the yield strength is 310 MPa.

What is the composition of an iron–carbon alloy for which the fraction of total cementite is 0.10?

Referring to the phase diagram below, what is the eutectic composition

For the Cu-Ni phase diagram below, what fraction of the system is liquid for 55 wt% Ni at 1300C

Use the TTT diagram below and assume that the initial temperature is 760 ˚C What is the nature of the microstructure, in terms of 1) microconstituents present and 2) approximate percentages of the microconstituents when the specimen is rapidly cooled to 575°C, held for 10 seconds, rapidly cooled to 350°C, held for 100 seconds, then quenched to room temperature.
