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.

oee [108]

Answer:

a) 24 kg

b) 32 kg

Explanation:

The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:

p = P / A

p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)

Rearranging

p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g

m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g

m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg

After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa

The mass of piston plus addded weight is

m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg

56 - 24 = 32 kg

The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.

A circular hoop sits in a stream of water, oriented perpendicular to the current. If the area of the hoop is doubled, the flux (
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The flux (volume of water per unit time) through the hoop will also double.

Explanation:

The flux = volume of water per unit time = flow rate of water through the hoop.

The Flow rate of water through the hoop is proportional to the area of the hoop, and the velocity of the water through the hoop.

This means that

Flow rate = AV

where A is the area of the hoop

V is the velocity of the water through the hoop

This flow rate = volume of water per unit time = Δv/Δt =Q

From all the above statements, we can say

Q = AV

From the equation, if we double the area, and the velocity of the stream of water through the hoop does not change, then, the volume of water per unit time will also double or we can say increases by a factor of 2

name the three exposure techniques in photolithography. what are the alternatives to photolithography in ic processing?
zhenek [66]

The three exposure techniques in photolithography are:

  • Contact
  • Proximity
  • Projection

Alternatives to photolithography in IC processing include;

  • X-ray
  • UV
  • Ion, and
  • Electron lithography

<h3>What is Photolithography?</h3>

Photolithography is a term in integrated circuit development that describes the patterned films that are formed when a beam of light falls on a substance.

This phenomenon protects the surface of sensitive materials such as glass during some operations like etching. UV and X-rays can be used for this purpose.
