Answer:

41.5° C

Explanation:

Given data :

1025 steel

Temperature = 4°C

allowed joint space = 5.4 mm

length of rails = 11.9 m

<u>Determine the highest possible temperature </u>

coefficient of thermal expansion ( ∝ ) = 12.1 * 10^-6 /°C

Applying thermal strain ( Δl / l )  = ∝ * ΔT

                                    ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 )  = 12.1 * 10^-6 * ( T2 - 4 )

∴  ( T2 - 4 ) =  ( 5.4 * 10^-3 / 11.9 ) / 12.1 * 10^-6

hence : T2 = 41.5°C

(a) What is the distinction between hypoeutectoid and hypereutectoid steels? (b) In a hypoeutectoid steel, both eutectoid and pr
Gnoma [55]

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

I have a molten Ni-Cu alloy with 60 wt%Ni. (ii) I cool it down to a temperature where I have both solid and liquid phases. At th
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The percentage of the remaining alloy would become solid is 20%

Explanation:

Melting point of Cu = 1085°C

Melting point of Ni = 1455°C

At 1200°C, there is a 30% liquid and 70% solid, the weight percentage of Ni in alloy is the same that percentage of solid, then, that weight percentage is 70%.

The Ni-Cu alloy with 60% Ni and 40% Cu, and if we have the temperature of alloy > temperature of Ni > temperature of Cu, we have the follow:

60% Ni (liquid) and 40% Cu (liquid) at temperature of alloy

At solid phase with a temperature of alloy and 50% solid Cu and 50% liquid Ni, we have the follow:

40% Cu + 10% Ni in liquid phase and 50% of Ni is in solid phase.

The percentage of remaining alloy in solid is equal to

Solid = (10/50) * 100 = 20%

A tensile specimen with a 12mm initial diameter and 50mm gage length reaches maximum load at 90KN and fractures at 70KN
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

i) 796.18 N/mm^2

ii) 1111.11 N/mm^2

Explanation:

Initial diameter ( D ) = 12 mm

Gage Length = 50 mm

maximum load ( P ) = 90 KN

Fractures at =  70 KN

minimum diameter at fracture = 10mm

<u>Calculate the engineering stress at Maximum load and the True fracture stress</u>

<em>i) Engineering stress at maximum load = P/ A </em>

= P / \pi  \frac{D^2}{4}  = 90 * 10^3 / ( 3.14 * 12^2 ) / 4

= 90,000 / 113.04 = 796.18 N/mm^2

<em>ii) True Fracture stress =  P/A </em>

= 90 * 10^3 / ( 3.24 * 10^2) / 4

= 90000 / 81  =  1111.11 N/mm^2
