1- When considering phase diagrams, a phase is:
a. liquid, solid or gas
b. a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical
characteristics
c. FCC, BCC or HCP
2- On equilibrium phase diagrams, the lever rule is used to find:
a. The composition of each phase
b. The amount of each phase
c. The phases present
3- A eutectic transformation is one during which, upon cooling:
a. A liquid phase transforms into two different solid phases
b. A solid phase transforms into two different solid phases
c. A liquid and solid phase transform into a single solid phase
d. Two solids transform into a third solid phase
4- A eutectoid transformation is one during which, upon cooling:
a. A liquid phase transforms into two different solid phases
b. A solid phase transforms into two different solid phases
c. A liquid and solid phase transform into a single solid phase
d. Two solids transform into a third solid phase
5- Grain size reduction, strain hardening and solid solution strengthening increase the
strength of a material by:
a. Modifying the type of bonds between atoms
b. Preventing dislocation motion
c. Increasing ductility
6- The Hall-Petch relationship states that:
a. The smaller the grains, the stronger the material
b. The smaller the grains, the weaker the material
c. The higher the temperature, the stronger the material d. The higher the
temperature, the weaker the material
7- Some strengthening effects can be reduced by
a. Surface polishing
b. Heat treatment
c. None of the above
