Assignment: 2

Material Science BMEC 0001 Due Date: 27.11.2024


1. Discuss the selection of steel compositions and microstructures for
different applications, such as automotive, construction, and tool
manufacturing.
2. Define the TTT (Time-Temperature-Transformation) diagram. How is it
different from the Iron-Carbon phase diagram?
3. Why is bainite often preferred over martensite in certain applications?
Describe a process using the TTT diagram to obtain a bainitic structure.

4. For a 0.4% carbon steel at 750°C, assume you are in the two-phase region
where ferrite (αα) and austenite (γγ) coexist. The composition of ferrite is
0.02% carbon, and that of austenite is 0.8% carbon at this temperature.
Using the lever rule, calculate the weight fractions of ferrite and austenite
in the alloy.

5. A copper-nickel alloy contains 40% nickel and is held at a temperature


where it exists as a mixture of liquid and solid phases. The liquid phase
contains 35% nickel, while the solid phase contains 45%
nickel.Determine the weight fractions of the liquid and solid phases at
this temperature.
6. Sketch a simplified Iron-Carbon Phase Diagram, indicating key
temperatures and compositions
7. What is an invariant reaction in a phase diagram? Explain its
significance in materials science. Also explain the invariant reactions
observed in iron carbon diagram
8. Define heat treatment. Why is it an important process in materials
engineering? List and briefly describe the main types of heat treatment
processes (e.g., annealing, quenching, tempering, and normalizing).
9. Discuss the challenges of controlling corrosion in marine environments.
What materials and protection methods are commonly used in such
conditions?
10. Differentiate the ferro, die and para magnetic materials
11. Explain the concept of corrosion and its detailed classification.
