MEE 312 Spring 2015 Chapter 8:

1. Fill in the table below as it relates to annealing:

Stage

Recovery

Change in microstructure

New grains nucleate

Grains Grow

Change in properties

Further reduction in strength, further increase in ductility

Temperature

Below Trc

· Trc

2. Fill in the following chart using the following symbols (+ means goes up significantly, - means goes down significantly, = means stays pretty much the same). The material has a melting temperature of 2500 C, and a stress relief anneal could be done at about 500- 600 C and grain growth occurs at 1000 C.

Assume that you then cold work this material approximately 50%. On the same stress-strain curve, using a dashed line, please construct the stress strain curve for the AA 2024 material that had been subjected to the 50% cold work. Explain the following:

a. Why did you estimate the modulus to be as you drew it?

b. Would you estimate the hardness to be higher or lower for the cold worked material and why?

c. Would you expect the % elongation to be higher or lower for the cold worked material and why?
