1. Explain the work hardening exponent as found in the true stress- true strain curve and how it impacts on the shape of the curve. [3]
2. What is the relationship between hardness, yield point and UTS? What do you have to be careful of? [5]
3. When would you perform the Robertson Crack Arrest Test? Discuss the usefulness of this technique. [6]
4. Draw direction vectors in unit cubes for the following cubic directions
a) [214] b) [123] [4] 5. What are the indices of the direction b shown in the unit cube below?
[3]
5. What will be the corrosion rate of a steel coupon exposed to a sulphuric acid solution with a weight loss of 0.12 g over a period of 2 weeks? Describe the corrosion rate. The coupon dimensions are shown below:
Length - 50 mm; Width 20 mm; Thickness 1,5 mm; and the hole size is 4 mm. [5]
6. Explain how you would determine a valid plane strain fracture toughness value.

9. A hypoeutectoid steel contains 60.0% eutectoid ferrite (seen from the microstructure). What is the average carbon content? [4]
10. A 0.90% C hypereutectoid plain-carbon steel is slowly cooled from 950C to a temperature just slightly below 723C. (a) Calculate the weight percent proeutectoid ferrite in the steel. (b) Calculate the weight percent eutectoid ferrite and eutectoid cementite in the steel. [6]
