Answer to Problem 7.6P

The constants in the equation fir tensile yield strength as function of solid solution composition is 8×109 N/m2af1/2 .

Explanation of Solution

Concept used:

Draw the diagram for yield strength of iron as a function of the atom fraction of carbon to the one-half power as shown below:

  Materials Science and Engineering Properties, SI Edition, Chapter 7, Problem 7.6P

Write the expression for tensile strength of solid solution strengthened alloy.

  σy=σ0+kstcs1/2 …… (1)

Here, σy is the tensile strength of solid solution strengthened alloy, σ0 is the tensile yield stress at zero concentration of solid-solution atoms, cs is the solute chemical composition in terms of atom fraction and kst is constant.

Calculation:

Refer to figure 1; the value of σ0 at zero concentration of atom fraction of carbon is 7×107 N/m2 .

Refer to figure 1; at atom fraction of carbon as 10×103 af1/2 the corresponding yield stress is 15×107 N/m2 .

Substitute 15×107 N/m2 for σy , 7×107 N/m2 for σ0 and 10×103 af1/2 for cs1/2 in equation (1).

  15×107 N/m2=7×107 N/m2+kst(10× 10 3  af 1/2)kst=8× 107 N/m2( 10× 10 3  af 1/2 )kst=8×109 N/m2af1/2

Conclusion:

Thus, the constants in the equation fir tensile yield strength as function of solid solution composition is 8×109 N/m2af1/2 .

Answer to Problem 7.6P

The yield strength of iron-carbon alloyis 33.53×107N/m2 .

Explanation of Solution

Substitute 8×109 N/m2af1/2 for kst , 7×107 N/m2 for σ0 and 0.0011 for cs in equation (1).

  σy=7×107 N/m2+(8× 109  N/m2 af 1/2)(0.0011 af)1/2=7×107 N/m2+26.53×107 N/m2=33.53×107N/m2

Conclusion:

Thus, the yield strength of iron-carbon alloyis 33.53×107N/m2 .

Explanation of Solution

If the concentration of solid solution atoms becomes large then the precipitation of atoms starts to form. As mentioned if concentration is increased from 0.0011 to 0.0015 af of carbon the precipitates of iron carbides starts to form in alloy.

The strength dependence of precipitates is different than the strength dependence of solid solution. Therefore, it is not possible to give extension of line in figure.
