    The document discusses the characteristics of different types of metal crystal structures and how metals increase their internal energy during plastic deformation. It also contains review questions and sample problems about metals and alloys. Specifically, it states that body-centered cubic metals are stable near the melting point due to atomic vibration. Face-centered cubic metals pack atoms well, making the structure common at low temperatures. Hexagonal close-packed metals have the most efficient packing arrangement, filling 74% of available space. During plastic deformation, metals create more dislocations and grain boundaries, increasing surface area and internal energy, which is then released during recrystallization.

    REVIEW QUESTIONS

    18. What is the dominant characteristic of body-centered-cubic metals? Face-centered-cubic metals?


    Hexagonal-close-packed metals?

    • Body-Centered-Cubic Metals
    The stability near the melting point is the dominant characteristic of body-centered-cubic
    metals since the atoms inside these kinds of metals have room to vibrate.

    • Face-Centered-Cubic Metals
    For face-centered-cubic metals, the atoms pack well and thus this structure is common
    among metals at low temperatures.

    • Hexagonal-Close-Packed Metals
    In hexagonal-close-packed metals, the smallest lattice repeat is a primitive hexagonal unit
    cell. This kind of packaging method is one of the most efficient as the spheres fill 74% of
    the available space. This is a very common structure for elemental metals.

    33. How does a metal increase its internal energy during plastic deformation?

    During plastic deformation, a metal increases its internal energy through the creation of a number
    of new dislocations and the resulting increases surface area of the distorted grain boundaries. In response
    to this increase in energy, a metal will try to release energy in a recrystallization process. Metal crystals
    do not have all of their atoms in perfect arrangement but rather contain a variety of localized
    imperfections. Two such imperfections are the edge dislocation and screw dislocation. Edge dislocations
    are the edges of extra half planes of atoms while screw dislocation correspond to partial tearing of the
    crystal plane.
    PROBLEMS

    2. Polyethylene consists of fibrous molecules of covalently bonded atoms tangled and interacting like
    the fibers of a cotton ball. Weaker van der Waals forces act between the molecules with a strength that
    is inversely related to separation distance.

    a. What properties of polyethylene can be attributed to the covalent bonding?


    The strength, high ductility, malleability, low hardness and low electrical conductivity are
    the properties of polyethylene that can be attributed to the covalent bonding.

    b. What properties are most likely the result of the weaker van der Waals forces?
    Materials tend to be much less strong due to the presence of van der Waals forces.
    Because of this, the polymer chains that composed the polyethylene would break apart a lot
    easier.

    c. If we pull on the ends of a cotton ball, the cotton fibers go from a random arrangement to an
    array of somewhat aligned fibers. Assuming we get a similar response from deformed
    polyethylene, how might properties change? Why?

    It will become stronger, because the molecules in the deformed polyethylene are now
    more aligned than it was before.
