For a eutectoid steel, describe isothermal heat treatments that would be required to yield specimens having the following tensile strength-ductility (%RA) combinations:

(a) 900MPa and 30% RA

(b) 700MPa and 25% RA

Solutions

Expert Solution

This problem asks for us to specify isothermal heat treatments to yield two tensile strength-ductility combinations.

(a) For this portion of the problem the required tensile strength is 900 MPa and the ductility is 30%RA. Because the heat treatment is to be isothermal and alloy is one of eutectoid composition, we use Figures 10.31a and 10.31b. From Figure 10.31a, in order to achieve a tensile strength of 900 MPa the isothermal heat treatment must be conducted at about 660°C. On the other hand, for a ductility of 30%RA, the heat treatment temperature is also 660°C, as indicated in Figure 10.31b.

(b) For this portion of the problem, the tensile strength-ductility combination is 700 MPa and 25%RA. For a tensile strength of 700 MPa, the heat treatment temperature is 690°C (Figure 10.31a). And, using Figure 10.31ban isothermal heat treatment also at about 690°C is required.

Analysis of a random sample of 15 specimens of cold-rolled steel to determine yield strengths resulted in a sample mean strength of 29. 8 and a standard deviation of 4. 0. A second random sample of 14 specimens of galvanized steel resulted in a sample mean of 32. 7 and a standard deviation of 5. 0. Does the data indicate that the true mean yield strengths for the two given populations (cold-rolled or galvanized) are different? Test at a= 0....

To what temperature would you need to heat the carbon steel rivets to ensure the plates developed sufficient compressive force to transmit the load in shear. The force the joint is required to carry is 20,000 lbs. The plates are to be used for retaining walls below the permafrost depth, so their operation temperature will be 52 F. The clamped plates are made of steel and have clean and dry surfaces. Please show all work
