Why might it be important to know the prior processing history of an engineering material?
The reason of knowing prior processing history of engineering materials.
Explanation of Solution
The engineering materials have basically two kinds of properties, first the properties which are inherent to the materials and the other which are acquired by the materials during the production and processing. The final products have the properties which are combination of above two properties.
The engineering materials comprise of the characteristics and properties which are affected by the production and processing techniques. These properties can be modified and controlled by the production and processing techniques applied on them.
The metals can specifically be classified as the engineering materials which are history dependent. The history of production and processing techniques affects the final properties of the products.
The initials processes of production such as smelting and refining processes define the presence of contaminants in the metals which influence the purity of the metals and hence influences the type and nature of the metal.
The solidification process is responsible for deciding the structural properties of the metal and these structural strength properties can be observed in the final products.
The operations such as rolling, bending, and extrusion also impact the directional property variations and affect the subsequent processing and use.
Thus, it becomes very important to focus on the prior processing of engineering materials in order to understand the final properties and hence the application of these materials.

- What is ultimate strength of the material?arrow_forwardHow does point defect affects the property of a material?arrow_forwardCASE STUDY A material is to be selected for the main landing-gear support for a carrier-based navy airplane. Both weight and size of the support are important considerations, as well as minimal deflection under normal landing conditions. The support must also be able to handle impact loading, both under normal landing conditions and under extreme emergency controlled-crash-landing conditions. Under crash-landing conditions permanent deformations are acceptable, but separation into pieces is not acceptable. What candidate materials would you suggest for this application?arrow_forward
- 2a: How a material can be mechanically strengthened by designing the grain size after thermomechanical treatments? 2b: How can the extent of cold work be defined? 2c: Specimen A (1008 steel) has an ASTM grain size number of 8 and specimen B (1008 steel) has a grain size number of 4. Which specimen will be having larger grains? A or B 2d: How increasing grain size can play role in decreasing the Toughness? 2e: Is EBSD without using specimen stage tilting is possible?arrow_forwardRegarding annealing, choose the right answer (One or more): The actual annealing time must be long enough to allow for any necessary transformation reactions that may occur Annealing can be performed to release internal stresses of the material The main purpose of annealing is to decrease or restore material's ductility Time isn't a significant parameter in annealing process If the rate of temperature change is too great, temperature gradients and internal stresses may be induced that may lead to warping or even crackingarrow_forwardMetal working Fe-C: What are possible sources of error in trying to obtain a specific hardness or strength?arrow_forward
