Tutorial 4

This JSON contains a summary of a document that includes 6 tutorial questions about materials science for engineers. The questions cover topics like calculating activation energy for vacancy formation in aluminum, determining which elements would form solid solutions with copper, calculating alloy composition by weight percent, determining crystal structure of a hypothetical alloy, comparing surface energies of different crystal planes, and explaining why small-angle grain boundaries have lower energies than high-angle ones.

Home Question/ Tutorial Four

TQ1: Calculate the activation energy for vacancy formation in aluminum, given that the equilibrium number of vacancies at
500°C (773 K) is 7.55x10-23 m-3. The atomic weight and density (at 500°C) for aluminum are, respectively, 26.98 g/mol
and 2.62 g/cm3.
TQ2: Atomic radius, crystal structure, electronegativity, and the most common valence are tabulated in the following table
for several elements; for those that are nonmetals, only atomic radii are indicated. Which of these elements would you
expect to form the following with copper (Cu):
(a) A substitutional solid solution having complete solubility
(b) A substitutional solid solution of incomplete solubility
(c) An interstitial solid solution.

TQ3: Calculate the composition, in weight percent, of an alloy that consists of 5 at. % Cu and 95 at.% Pt? (The atomic wt of
Cu is 63.55 g/mol and the atomic wt of Pt is 195.08 g/mol)
TQ4: Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 25 wt.% of metal A and 75 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B
are 6.17 and 8.00 g/cm3, respectively, whereas their respective atomic weights are 171.3 and 162.0 g/mol, determine
whether the crystal structure for this alloy is simple cubic, face-centered cubic, or body-centered cubic. Assume a unit
cell edge length of 0.332 nm.

TQ5: For a BCC single crystal, would you expect the surface energy for a (100) plane to be greater or less than that for a
(110) plane? Why?
TQ6: The grain boundary energy of a small-angle grain boundary is less than for a high-angle one. Why is this so?
