Alloys, in general, are harder, lower melting, and poorer conductors of electricity than the pure metals of which they are composed. Why?
Adi S.
This question is related to the strengthening mechanisms described in Chapters 14 and 15. Choose the three correct statements from the list below. Work-hardening increases yield strength due to dislocation entanglement Metals can be strengthened by increasing the grain size Thermal toughening of glass induces a compressive stress in the surface that resists cracking Chemical toughening of glass involves replacing silicon atoms near the surface with potassium Precipitation hardening can only occur in alloys that form intermediate compounds Rings of carbon atoms in a polymer chain allow bonds to rotate more freely Restricting dislocation movement reduces yield strength
