Assignment 1

This document discusses material sciences, specifically focusing on aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys. It covers assumptions about properties of materials needed for aerospace applications, including being lightweight, corrosion resistant, and having decent electrical and thermal conductivities. Section a) discusses why 6XXX series aluminum alloys are preferred over steel for applications due to increased strength from silicon and machinability from magnesium. Section b) notes that phase diagrams alone cannot determine microstructure or effects of heat treatment. Section c) discusses research on magnesium alloys for automotive and aerospace use and opportunities to further improve strength through better understanding of precipitation patterns. Section d) analyzes causes of crankshaft failure from strain and fatigue fracture.

Material selection plays an important role throughout engineering and is especially
important in aerospace engineering. The following problems related to material
properties and the use of material in aerospace engineering.

a)
In this case, I prefer the 6XXX Aluminum alloy family over substitute steel for
automated maritime and aerospace applications. Why? Whereas when Si is
introduced to aluminum, its strength and hardness skyrockets, and when Mg is
added, it becomes an extremely hard substance that can be processed in machines
(machinability). The incorporation of silicon to a material acts as an interstitial
presence, causing extra interaction amongst atoms, changing the strength of the
material and making it harder to utilize in a specific application. Other alloying
elements in question, on the other hand, are utilized to improve the material's
corrosion resistance. In such scenario, the material's composition remains
unchanged; instead, the aluminum perimeter atoms are replaced with some of those
alloys.

b)
I'll be able to compute the percentage of two (or more) alloy components using
only a phase diagram at most. I may also be able to determine components of the
alloy that hardened throughout multiple moments of cooling if the product is
chilled slowly. As a result, there will be a compositional tendency that will emerge
in that area. The product's overall microstructure is the consequence of heat
treatment and other physical treatments.
A phase diagram alone will be insufficient to make any type of microstructure
forecast.

c)
Magnesium alloys have gotten a lot of attention in the last 12 years because of its
prospective uses in the automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors. Solid-state
precipitates formed by the age-hardening process give many of these alloys their
strength. Although some current magnesium alloys have had their strength
increased, and some new alloys with improved strength have been developed,
Further alloy strength improvements will necessitate a better understanding of the
structure, morphology, and orientation of precipitates, as well as the effects of
precipitate morphology and orientation on the strengthening and microstructural
factors that control the nucleation and growth of these precipitates. It is proven that
the precipitation patterns in these compositions are still rarely discussed,
particularly at the very early stages of the precipitation process, yet many basic
raises questions unresolved despite substantial and sustained efforts over the
previous 12 years.
d)
The collapse of the crankshaft is caused by strain, which manifests itself as
fractures on the body of the flywheel, as well as loading conditions caused by the
bevel turning. The purpose of this work is to examine if strain phenomena
contribute to crankshaft breakage. The fatigue fracture began at the cranking axle
on the this between of the crank, and where the ultimate strength applied load
occurred. The crack progressively proceeded through the shaft or drum (dark
region) till the last piece was unable to withstand the shear created by the effort on
the peddle, and the cranking arm shattered quickly. This prolonged shelf fracture in
a greater component nucleated from a machine mark between scorpion arm on this
covalent bond surfaces over a lengthy period of time. Nonetheless, once begun,
transmission was quick and accelerated, as seen in the increasing distance of the
developing wear crack's 'beaches markings' on the substrate.
