strain at fracture?

(b) 0.405
(c) 0.564
(d) 0.305
(e) Can’t be determined from the given data
Ans: (b) 0.405

(a) σ/ε
(b) σ
(c) n
(d) σu
Ans: (b) σ

Question-03: (1 mark)
Statement-1: Localized necking corresponds to a state of plane strain condition.
Statement-2: A material used in freight car couplings must possess high resilience.
Statement-3: Small coherent precipitates in a nickel base superalloy provides adequate
strengthening by forcing the dislocations to bend around them, forming an additional
dislocation loop.
Statement-4: In an alloy of fixed chemistry, the strength keeps on increasing with increasing
particle size.
(a) S1-T, S2-F, S3-F, S4-F
(b) S1-T, S2-F, S3-F, S4-T
(c) S1-T, S2-T, S3-F, S4-F
(d) S1-T, S2-F, S3-T, S4-F
(e) S1-F, S2-F, S3-T, S4-F
(f) S1-F, S2-T, S3-F, S4-T
Ans: (a) S1-T, S2-F, S3-F, S4-F

Question-04: (1mark)
On analysing the dislocation density of a cold worked AISI 304 SS , is found to be 1x1020 m-2.
If the intrinsic flow stress of the material (friction stress) is 200 GPa, G = 74 GPa and b =
0.35nm, the flow stress of the material after being cold worked will be ____GPa (round off to
nearest integer)
Ans: 252
Solution:  = 0 + Gb()1/2 =>  = {(200 + 0.2 x 74 x 0.35 x 10-9 x (1020)1/2 } => 251.8GPa

Question-05: (1mark)
Assertion: Increase in grain size in polycrystalline material will result in decrease in tensile
yield strength
Reason: Increase in grain size will cause a large dislocation pile up on the active grain against
the unfavourably oriented grain which in turn result in increase in flow stress
a. Both assertion and reason are false.
b. Assertion is true but the reason is false.
c. Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the
assertion.
d. Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the
assertion
Answer. d

Question-06: (1mark)
Which of the following statements is/are correct?
a. In Bcc Fe, C atom (0.71 Å) sits preferably in the octahedral void (0.19Å)
b. In Bcc Fe, C atom (0.71 Å) sits preferably in the tetrahedral void (0.36 Å)
c. The choice of site, in option a and b, depends on having a minimum distortion
d. In Fcc iron lattice, the interstitial C atom produce spherical distortion, so the C
dissolution is more as compared to Bcc iron lattice
e. In Fcc iron lattice, octahedral voids are smaller than Bcc lattice
Answer. a,c,d

Common data (Question: 07 – 08)


The coordinates of a solute atom in the strain field of edge dislocation is shown below

Question-07: (1/2mark)
The given solute atom is smaller than the matrix atom
a. True
b. False
Answer. False
Solution. Because it is on the tensile side of the edge dislocation, it should be larger
than matrix atom

Question-08: (1 mark)
Given that force is large and negative (attractive) as the dislocation approaches the
solute atom, the solute atom will be
a. A soft atom with combined size + modulus has a net positive energy
b. A hard atom with combined size + modulus has a net negative energy
c. A hard atom with combined size + modulus has a positive energy
d. A soft atom with combined size + modulus has a net negative energy
Answer. d

Question-9: (1/2 mark)


Substitutional solutes give rise to completely spherical distortion in the lattice
a. True
b. False
Answer. True

Question-10 (1/4 mark)


Substitutional solutes can interact with defects that have both hydrostatic component and shear
component in their stress field
a. True
b. False
Answer. False
Question-11 (1/4 mark)
Interstitial atoms will interact with both hydrostatic as well as shear stress fields
a. True
b. False
Answer. True
Solution.
Interstitial atoms not only produce dilatational misfit (volume) but also induce a tetragonal
distortion.
The strain field attributed to this tetragonal distortion will interact with hydrostatic as well
as shear stress fields.
Question-12 (1/4 mark)
There is no interaction between a substitutional atom and a screw dislocation
a. True
b. False
Answer. True
Solution.
Screw dislocation has a stress field of pure shear, and hydrostatic component is zero.
Therefore, there is no interaction between a substitutional atom and a screw dislocation
Question-13 (1/4 mark)
As temperature is increased, the applied stress for bypassing the obstacle is increased
a. True
b. False
Answer. False
