Answer:
a) Solid solution strengthening and alloying, Precipitation hardening, work hardening
b) Absence of enough crystallographic misalignment in the grain boundary region for a small-angle
Explanation:
<u>A) strengthening mechanism</u>
i) Solid solution strengthening and alloying:
In solid solution strengthening and alloying mechanism there is an addition of one atom of solute to another during this process, there might be substitution of interstitial point defect in crystal
also the shear stress required can be represented as: Δz = Gb√Ce^3/2
where : C = solute concentration , e = strain on material
ii) Precipitation hardening:
During precipitation hardening the alloying above the concentrate will lead to the formation of a second phase also under precipitation hardening a second phase can also be created via thermal treatments
particle bowing cab be written as : Δz = Gb / L-2x
iii) work hardening :
Dislocation caused by stress fields been generated hardens metals under the work hardening mechanism
dislocation can be represented as ; Gb √ p
where : G = shear modulus , b = Burgess vector, p = dislocation density
B) The small angle grain boundaries are not effective enough because there is less crystallographic misalignment in the grain boundary region for a small-angle
