Introduction:
This section should state the goals of the lab, materials tested, apparatus used, and how the experiment
was performed.
Data:
This section should include your table of hardness test results:

Note CRS stands for Cold Rolled Steel
Analysis and Discussion:
What was the effect of heating the O-1 hardened and CRS samples?
They both increased in hardness however both of them also became more brittle in the process allowing
us to break it by hitting it with a hammer
Did both gain hardness? If so, did one increase its hardness more than the other?
Both gained hardness the 0-1 gained more hardness going from an average of 35 to an average od 85
where the crs when from a average of 34 to an average of 68
What was the effect when the sample of O-1 was hardened, held in a vise, then hit with a hammer?
What does this indicate about the hardening process?
When we hit it with a hammer it snapped it indicates that when you harden it it also becomes more
brittle
Conclusions:
Are your results what you expected? Do you believe there were errors in the lab that may have affected
the results? If you were to perform the lab again, what would you do differently?
The results in the lab are what I expected: heat treating the steel would make it tougher but also
make it snap easier due to the brittleness of the steel. We had some errors I wasn't very
confident with our first measurement before we heat-treated the metal. Our second mistake I
believe was when heating it I don't think it got hot enough because we couldn't get the metal to
snap,
Through hardening is the process of hardening the entire material (what we did in the lab).
Case
hardening is the process of adding carbon to the exterior of the material, heat treating only the exterior
to create a hardened shell. What are some advantages and disadvantages of Case hardening over
through hardening?
Case hardening could be better than tough hardening because it will make the shell harder and
increase the overall hardness of the metal without the negative side effect of the metal being
more brittle giving you the best of both worlds

You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…

Part 1: Suppose that our company performs DNA analysis for a law enforcement agency. We currently have 1 machine that are essential to performing the analysis. When an analysis is performed, the machine is in use for half of the day. Thus, each machine of this type can perform at most two DNA analyses per day. Based on past experience, the distribution of analyses needing to be performed on any given day are as follows: (Fill in the table)
Part2: We are considering purchasing a second machine. For each analysis that the machine is in use, we profit 1400$. What is the YEARLY expected value of this new machine ( ASSUME 365 days per year - no weekends or holidays

Newton's Law of cooling states that the rate at which heat is lost by a heated body is
proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and the surrounding
medium. Match the following statements/phrases with the corresponding item in the
drop down box. Choices in the box
1. In accordance with the stated law obove, we have the equation?
2. If a thermometer is taken outdoors where the temperoture is 5 deg C, from a
room in which the temperature is 20 deg C and the reading drops 10 deg C in one
minute, the working equation is?
3. In the obove problem, separoting the variables and integrating will result to?
4. In the obove problem, how long, in minutes, after its removal from the room will
the reading be 6 deg C?
5. In the obove problem, ofter 30 seconds, whot will be the thermometer reading?
