Sample Questions
Q 1. Answer any five from the following: (20)
(a) Brittle fracture is more prevalent at low temperature – Explain
(b) Grey cast iron is brittle but nodular cast iron is ductile – Explain
(c) Lomer Cottrell Barriers are not formed in metals having HCP crystal structure – Justify whether True or False.
(d) Annealing twins are not observed in aluminium, but in copper.
(e) Calculate the spacing between dislocations in a tilt boundary in FCC copper, when the angle of tilt is 2°.
(f) What are the differences between “slip” and “twinning”?.
Q 2. (a) By drawing a neat diagram showing the plane and direction discuss the formation of Lomer- Cottrell barrier and its consequence on the plastic deformation process. (10)
(b) Discuss the Strain Ageing phenomena. What is dynamic strain ageing? 7+3=10

Q 4. (a) The yield strength of polycrystalline material increases from 120 MPa to 220 MPa, on decreasing the grain diameter from 0.04 to 0.01 mm. Find the yield stress for a grain size of ASTM 9. (4)
(b) What crystallographic factors usually determine the planes and directions on which slip occurs? How does one of these factors determine the temperature sensitivity of the yield strength? (6)
