Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Hypo-eutectoid steel has less than 0,8% of C in its composition.

It is composed by pearlite and α-ferrite, whereas Hyper-eutectoid steel has between 0.8% and 2% of C, composed by pearlite and cementite.

Ferrite has a higher tensile strength than cementite but cementite is harder.

Considering that hypoeutectoid steel contains ferrite at grain boundaries and pearlite inside grains whereas hypereutectoid steel contains a higher amount of cementite, the following properties are obtainable:

Hypo-eutectoid steel has higher yield strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel

Hypo-eutectoid steel is more ductile than Hyper-eutectoid steel

Hyper-eutectoid steel is harder than Hyper-eutectoid steel

Hypo-eutectoid steel has more tensile strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel.

When making a knife or axe blade, I would choose Hyper-eutectoid steel alloy because

1. It is harder

2. It has low cost

3. It is lighter

When making a die to press powders or stamp a softer metals, I will choose hypo-eutectoid steel alloy because

1. It is ductile

2. It has high tensile strength

3. It is durable

Answer:

(a)

Steels having carbon within 0.02% – 0.8% which consist of ferrite and pearlite are known as hypoeutectoid steel.

Steels having greater than 0.8% carbon but less than 2.0% are known as hypereutectoid steel.

(b)

The proeutectoid ferrite formed at a range of temperatures from austenite in the austenite+ferrite region above 726°C. The eutectoid ferrite formed during the eutectoid transformation as it cools below 726°C. It is a part of the pearlite microconstiutents . Note that both hypereutectoid and hypoeutectoid steels have proeutectoid phases, while in eutectoid steel, no proeutectoid phase is present.

Proeutectoid signifies is a phase that forms (on cooling) before the eutectoid austenite decomposes. It has a parallel with primary solids in that it is the first phase to crystallize out of the austenite phase. If the steel is hypoeutectoid it will produce proeutectoid ferrite and if it is hypereutectoid it will produce proeutectoid cementite.  The carbon concentration for both ferrites is 0.022 wt% C.

(c)

(i) Yield strength: The hypoeutectoid steel have good yield strength and hypereutectoid steels have little higher yield strengh.

(ii) Ductility: The hypoeutectoid steel is more ductile and the ductility has decreased by a factor of three for the eutectoid alloy. In hypereutectoid alloys the additional, brittle cementite on the pearlite grain boundaries further decreases the ductility of the alloy. The proeutectoid cementite restricts plastic deformation to the ferrite lamellae in the pearlite.

(iii) Hardness:  hypoeutectoid steels are softer and hypereutectoid steel contains low strength cementite at grain boundary region which makes it harder than hypoeutectoids.

(iv) Tensile strength: Grain boundary regions of hypereutectoid steel are high energy regions prone to cracking because of cementite in the grain boundaries, its tensile strength decreases drastically even though pearlite is present. Hypoeutectoid steel contains ferrite at grain boundaries and pearlite inside grains, so grain boundaries being the high energy state region, it has a higher tensile strength.

(d)

I would recommend hypereutectoid steel alloy to make a knife or ax blade

1- Hardness is required at the surface of the blades.

2- Ductility is not needed for such application.

3- Due to constant impact, the material will not easily yield to stress.

(e)

I would choose a hypoeutectoid steel alloy to make a steel that was easy to machine.

1- hypoeutectoid steel alloys have high machinability, hence better productivity

2- It will be used on softer metals, hence its fitness for the application

3- Certain amount of ductility is required which hypoeutectoid steel alloys possess.

6. What types of injuries can occur in an electronics lab and how can they be prevented?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The most common injuries in a chemistry lab is making a fire, heat burns, chemical burns, cuts and scrapes, contamination, inhalation, and spills and breaks.

1.) You can prevent making a fire by making sure you close and seal flammable materials.

2.) You can prevent heat burns by teaching the students how to properly use tongs,water baths, and other cooling equipment. 

3.) You can prevent chemical burns by treating the chemicals with caution, measure carefully, and use the approved containers.

4.) You can prevent cuts and scrapes by telling the students how to use the blades safely, and also when they are disposing broken or sharp items they should know how to wrap them up so no one else will get hurt. 

5.) You can prevent contamination by washing your hands, protect their clothing and skin with a lab coat or a lab apron, gloves and glasses, and cleaning your area where the germs of the chemicals were so no one will become.

6.) You can prevent inhalation by opening up windows, using ventilation fans, and using an equipment that measures the amount of gas emission in a room.

7.) Finally, you can prevent spills and breaks by telling the students what will happen if anything spills, and tell them to clean up.

What is the need to achieve population inversion​
notka56 [123]

Explanation:

Population inversion is a process of achieving more electrons in the higher energy state than the lower energy state. In order to achieve population inversion, we need to supply energy to the laser medium. The process of supplying energy to the laser medium is called pumping.
