Compare precipitation hardening (Section 11.10) and the hardening of steel by quenching and tempering (Sections 10.5, 10.6, and 10.8) with regard to (a) The total heat treatment procedure (b) The microstructures that develop (c) How the mechanical properties change during the several heat treatment stages

Different types of steels contain different elements that alter the characteristics of the steel. for each of the following elements, explain what the element does when alloyed with steel.

Ifa component is made of two or more materials with different modulus of elasticity (e), it is called a composite member and we calculate the factor·n". mention the formula for calculating n". also, ifn> 1, explain what will happen to the 1. transformed.gi) ifn 1, what will happen to the material when transformed material when

Air is compressed isentropically from an initial state of 300 k and 101 kpa to a final temperature of 1000 k. determine the final pressure using the following approaches: (a) approximate analysis (using properties at the average temperature) (b) exact analysis
