What's Inside – Complete Exam Domain Coverage: Category Key Concepts & Questions Covered Materials Fundamentals Iron-carbon alloys (steels vs cast irons – carbon content difference), brass and bronze (copper as major metallic element), crystalline structures (FCC – face-centered cubic gives high ductility – gold, silver, copper, aluminum) Stress-Strain Curve Analysis Identify materials for strain hardening (curved vs straight line), elastic modulus (lower strain = higher modulus? B has lower), tensile strength (B lower), toughness (A lower), yield strength (B lower), ductility (A less ductile), bronze vs cast iron identification Material Properties Density (physical property), Young's modulus (steel = 1, plastics ≈ 0.1; cannot be greatly changed by manufacturing), yield strength (CAN be changed by manufacturing), ductility (CAN be changed), tensile strength vs ductility (inverse relationship), tensile strength vs hardness (direct relationship) Casting Processes Isotropic grain structure, investment casting (best for ferrous metals with high shape complexity, CANNOT produce very large parts – false statement), sand casting (most popular, can produce large parts, dimension precision NOT best among all casting processes – false statement), die casting (excellent precision, patterns NOT always needed – false statement), permanent mold casting (no pattern), cope (top) and drag (bottom) in sand casting, draft (positive needed for removal), shrinkage, melting, solidification (NOT strain hardening) Casting Suitability NOT suitable for cast iron with low fluidity = die casting; advantages: complex shape, very large parts, difficult-to-machine parts (NOT superb surface finish) Deformation Processes Hot working (directional oriented grain structure, recrystallization temperature ≈ 0.6 × melting point, NO strain hardening effect – false), Cold working (strain hardening increases yield strength, decreases ductility, Young's modulus hardly affected), Elastic vs plastic deformation (both occur), Ductility exploited in deformation processes Specific Deformation Methods Rolling (limited standard cross-sectional shapes), Extrusion ("like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube"), Open-die forging (simple shape), Closed-die forging (complex shape), Sheet metal bending (deformed beyond yield strength but below tensile strength) Heat Treatment Purposes: increase strength/hardness, decrease strength/hardness, surface harden (NOT to alter shape); Quenching (fastest media = water, CANNOT improve machinability), Tempering (heated below lower transformation temperature A1), Full annealing (maximum ductility), Faster cooling rate = harder parts Iron-Carbon Phases Austenite (exists at high temperatures 912°C), Martensite Bainite Pearlite (hardest to softest), Surface hardening (hard surface for wear resistance + tough interior for impact resistance) Metrology & Quality Tolerance (defined by product designers), Variance (measured), Normal distribution (bell-shaped curve, mean determines center location), Repeatability (consistency with same person measuring same dimension), Attributes vs variables inspection (surface roughness = variables), Ra vs Rmax (cannot tell which is smoother without more info) Gage Blocks Carbide steel (best for maintaining high accuracy) Fits Interference fit (shafts and wheels on locomotives transmitting high torque) Manufacturing Process Families Additive manufacturing (3D printing – newest member), Material removal (machining), Deformation (exploits ductility), Casting (both prototyping and mass production) Process Comparisons Deformation processes (NOT characterized by unwanted regions cut away with large waste – that's material removal) Key Questions & Answers You'll Master: Question Correct Answer What is the major difference between steels and cast irons? Carbon content in steels is lower than in cast irons Both brass and bronze contain what as their major metallic element? Copper Which material will have increased yield strength after cold forming (strain hardening)? M2 with a curve (not M1 with straight line) Which casting process is most suitable for ferrous metal parts with high shape complexity? Investment casting In sheet metal bending, the metal is deformed how? Beyond yield strength but below tensile strength What happens to ductility during cold drawing? Decreased What happens to Young's modulus during cold drawing? Hardly affected Which heat treatment method CANNOT improve machinability? Quenching In tempering, the workpiece is heated to what temperature? Below the lower transformation temperature (A1) What is the hardness order of steel structures (hardest to softest)? Martensite Bainite Pearlite What types of deformation happen in metal forming? Both elastic and plastic What is NOT associated with casting? Strain hardening The size of a pattern is _____ the size of the part to be cast? Larger than Can Young's modulus be greatly changed by manufacturing processes? No Can yield strength be greatly changed by manufacturing processes? Yes As tensile strength increases, ductility _____? Decreases As tensile strength increases, hardness _____? Increases What phase exists at high temperature (912°C) in iron-carbon diagram? Austenite Which quenching media is fastest? Water Which heat treatment gives maximum ductility?
