    This document contains a 3 question test on materials engineering. Question 1 asks to rank engineering materials by strength and hardness and design a material to minimize damage to an aircraft canopy. Question 2 defines crystal structure terms and asks about the structure, lattice parameter, and Miller indices of a metal. Question 3 asks about cross slip in BCC, FCC and HCP metals and how it influences ductility, and calculates the atomic percentage of tin in a copper-tin alloy.

    TEST 1

    NMB10203 MATERIALS ENGINEERING


    7 SEPT 2020
    DURATION: 1 HOUR

    Question 1

    a) List the four main classes of engineering materials. Use your own experience to rank
    them approximately:
    a. By strength.
    b. By hardness
    (4 marks)

    b) We would like to produce a transparent canopy for an aircraft. If we were to use a ceramic
    (that is, traditional window glass) canopy, rocks or birds might cause it to shatter. Design
    a material that would minimize damage or at least keep the canopy from breaking into
    pieces.
    (5 marks)

    Question 2

    a) Define the terms lattice, unit cell, and crystal structure.


    (6 marks)

    b) A metal has a cubic structure with a density of 2.6 g/cm3, an atomic weight of 87.62 g/mol,
    and a lattice parameter of 6.0849 A˚. One atom is associated with each lattice point.
    Determine the crystal structure of the metal.
    (5 marks)

    c) Determine the Miller indices for the directions A, B and C in the cubic unit cell shown in
    Figure 1.

    Figure 1
    (6 marks)
    d) Sketch the following planes and directions within a cubic unit cell:

    (i) [11̅0]
    ̅̅̅̅1]
    (ii) [22
    (ii) [410]
    (6 marks)

    Question 3

    a) Why is it that cross slip in BCC and FCC metals is easier than that in HCP metals?
    How does this influence the ductility of BCC, FCC, and HCP metals?
    (3 marks)

    b) Tin atoms are introduced into a FCC copper crystal, producing an alloy with a lattice
    parameter of 3.7589 x 10-8 cm and a density of 8.772 g/cm3. Calculate the atomic
    percentage of tin present in the alloy.
    (5 marks)
