DEFORMATION AND STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS

1. In solid solution strengthening, impurity atoms play a large role in this, which would
have a greater effect on the material strength.
a. Smaller substitutional impurities are preferred.
b. Larger substitutional impurities are preferred.
c. Regardless of size, interstitial dislocation is preferred. (NOT THE RIGHT ASNWER)
d. Amount of impurity atoms, regardless of type dislocation is preferred.
2. How does the reduction of grain size help strengthen the material?
a. Having smaller grain size results in fewer grain boundaries which enhances dislocation
motion (NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER)
b. Having smaller grain size results in a greater total grain boundary which impedes
dislocation motion

dislocation motion

motion.
