What is a ceramic?

Explanation of Solution

Ceramic is the solid substance consisting of the inorganic metal, metalloid atom & nonmetal compound mostly held in ionic & covalent bonds.  Some of the examples include porcelain, earthenware, and brick. The word ceramics (comes from Greek keramos, which means “potter’s clay,”& keramikos, which means “clay products”) refers to the material as well as the ceramic product. Owning to the huge number of combination of element that are possible, a broad variety of ceramic is available for wide range of industrial & consumer application.

Qu 5 Determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration of 0.30 wt% at a position 4 mm into an iron carbon alloy that initially contains 0.10 wt% C. The surface concentration is to be maintained at 0.90 wt% C, and the treatment is to be conducted at 1100°C. Use the data for the diffusion of carbon into y-iron: Do = 2.3 x10-5 m2/s and Qd = 148,000 J/mol.

In figure A, the homogeneous rod of constant cross section is attached to unyielding supports. In figure B, a homogeneous bar with a cross-sectional area of 600 mm2 is attached to rigid supports. The bar carries the axial loads P1 = 20 kN and P2 = 60 kN, as shown.1. In figure A, derive the expression that calculates the reaction R1 in terms of P, and the given dimensions.2. In figure B, calculate the reaction (kN) at A.3. In figure B, calculate the maximum axial stress (MPa) in the rod.
