  1. The Rockwell hardness of a metal is determined by impressing a hardened point into the surface of the metal and then measuring the depth of penetration of the point. The Rockwell hardness of a particular alloy is 70. A new annealing process is implemented with the goal of increasing the Rockwell hardness of the alloy. A test of 50 samples with the new annealing process resulted in a sample mean of 72.1 and a sample standard deviation of 5.

  1. Does the sample data indicate that the true average Rockwell hardness should be greater than 70 at a significance level of 0.01?
  2. If the true average Rockwell hardness is 72, what is the probability of committing a type 2 error using the test in part a?
  3. What is the value of n needed to satisfy α=0.01 and β(72)=0.01?

2. The surface of a 0.1% C steel gears is to be hardened by carburizing. In gas carburizing, the gears are placed in an atmosphere that provides 1.2% C at the surface of the steel at a high temperature. Carbon then diffuses from the surface into the gear. For optimum properties, the steel must contain 0.45% C at a depth of 0.2 cm below the surface. Design a carburizing heat treatment schedule that will produce these optimum properties. Assume that...

Problem 3: Metal Hardness Testing The manufacturer of hardness testing equipment uses steel-ball indenters to indent metal that is being tested. However, the manufacturer thinks there might be a difference in hardness reading when using a diamond indenter. The metal specimens to be tested are large enough so that two indentations can be made. Therefore, the manufacturer wants to use both indenters on each specimen and compare the readings. The order of the indentations will be random. This particular design...
