Words to know for Materials Engineering

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Modulus   Stiffness; resistance to elastic deformation.  
🗑
Strength   Resistance to plastic deformation.  
🗑
Hardness   Resistance to localized plastic deformation.  
🗑
Toughness   Resistance to fracture.  
🗑
Elongation   Extent of ductility...strain to fracture.  
🗑
Fatigue Resistance   Resistance to failure by damage accumulation.  
🗑
Elastic Deformation   Material reverts back to original shape and size after removal of loads. -Caused by separation of atoms.  
🗑
Plastic Deformation   Application and removal of load results in permanent change in shape/size. -Caused by defect or molecular motion.  
🗑
Linear Densisty   Number of atoms centered on a direction vector/length of the vector.  
🗑
Planar Density   Number of atoms centered on a plane/area of the plane.  
🗑
Ionic Bond   Low and High electro-negativity.  
🗑
Covalent Bond   2 or more atoms of high electro-negativity.  
🗑
Metallic Bond   Metals; low electro-negativity of both.  
🗑
Crystalline Defect   Lattice irregularity having one or more dimensions on the order of an atomic diameter.  
🗑
Point Defects   Affect chemical and electrical properties, as well as determining phases for a given composition.  
🗑
Line defects   responsible for plastic deformation and lower than theoretical strength.  
🗑
Planar Defects   Defines internal and external boundaries that affect strength, diffusion, and shape.  
🗑
Volume Defects   Can harden material by interacting with other defects...or lead to failure.  
🗑
Vacancies   Absense of atoms  
🗑
Interstitials   Atoms of elements different than those comprising the basis for the lattice.  
🗑
Self-Interstitual   "extra" atom positioned between atomic sites.  
🗑
The number of Vacancies...   Increases Rapidly with Temperature.  
🗑
Vacancies Occur   -Upon Solidification -Due to atomic vibrations -By radiation damage  
🗑
Frankel Defect   A cation vacancy - cation interstitial pair.  
🗑
Shottky Defect   A paired set of cation and anion vacancies  
🗑
Edge Dislocation   Displacement is perpendicular to axis.  
🗑
Burger's Vector   measure of lattice distortion.  
🗑
Screw Dislocation   Displacement is parallel to Axis.  
🗑
Grain Boundaries   Regions between crystals transition from lattice of one region to that of the other.  
🗑
Stacking Fault   A stacking fault is a misregistry in the stacking sequence.  
🗑
Interdiffusion   in a allow, atoms tend to migrate from regions of high concentration, to regions of low concentrations.  
🗑
Diffusion   Process of mass transport that involves the movement of one atomic species into another.  
🗑
Assumption   Occurs by random atomic jumps from one position to another.  
🗑
Why are jumps more frequent in higher temperatures?   Because of the higher thermal energy of the atoms, so the diffusion rate is more rapid.  
🗑
Vacancy Diffusions   Atoms exchange with vacancies; applies to substitution impurities atom. Rate depends on: Number of Vacancies; activation energy exchange.  
🗑
Interstitial Diffusion   Smaller atoms can diffuse between atoms. *More rapid then vacancy diffusion.  
🗑
Case Hardening   Diffuse carbon atoms into the host iron atoms at the surface.  
🗑
