Question (1): Which of the statements are True and which are False? Correct the False statements.

1. Tensile and yield strengths for compacted graphite irons are greater than those observed for gray irons. T

2. Iron has a BCC crystal structure. T

3. Ferritic stainless steels are nonmagnetic and are less corrosion resistant than the austenitics.

F = magnetic

4. Of the common quenching media, air is the most efficient, followed by water, and oil, in that order.

F = water, and oil , air

5. Low carbon steels cannot be welded. F = can be welded.

Question (2): Explain the reason (s):

1. Gray cast irons have good vibration damping.

which is desirable in engines

and other machinery;

2. Ferrous alloys are widely used.

(1) iron-containing compounds exist

in abundant quantities within the Earth’s crust;
(2) metallic iron and steel alloys may be produced using
relatively economical extraction, refining, alloying, and fabrication techniques; and
(3) ferrous alloys
are extremely versatile,
 Question (1): Which of the statements are True and which are False? Correct the false statements.

1. Higher degree of polymerization increases the mechanical strength of polymers. T

2. The material becomes softer and more ductile when the rate of deformation increases.

F = deformation decreases.

3. In a block copolymer, two different units are randomly dispersed along the polymer chain.

F = random copolymer

4. Reaction times for condensation polymerization are generally longer than for addition polymerization.

Question (2): Cite the main differences between thermoplastics and thermosets.

thermoplastics =

They can be subjected

to this heating and cooling cycle repeatedly without significant degradation of the polymer.

thermosets.= cannot tolerate repeated heating cycles as thermoplastics

can
 Question (1): Which of the statements are True and which are False? Correct the False statements.

1. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is primarily a network polymer.

False = linear polymer,

2. Most addition polymers are thermoplastics. True

3. For linear polymers, there may be extensive covalent bonding between the chains.

False = van der Waals and hydrogen

bonding

Question (2): Fill in the blanks with suitable words.

macromolecules
1. Because of their size, polymers are often referred to as -----------------------.

plastics rubbers.
2. Polymers can be separated into --------------------- and ----------------------.

functionality
3. In general, the ------------------------- is the number of bonds that a given monomer can form.

Question (3): Explain the meaning of the following terms:

1. Homopolymer 2. Polymerization

1. Homopolymer = When all of the repeating units along a chain are of the same type,

2. Polymerization = it is simply the process

by which monomers are linked together to generate long chains composed of repeat units.
Question (1): Which of the statements are True and which are False? Correct the False statements.

1. The designation system for aluminum alloys is a five-digit code number.

false = four-digit

2. Bauxite is converted to pure alumina by the Bayer process.

true

3. Copper is frequently alloyed to improve conductivity.

false = improve strength

Question (2): Fill in the blanks with suitable words.

Bronze
1. ------------------- is an alloy of copper and tin

maraging
2. When precipitation hardening applied to steels, the process is called ----------------------.

FCC
3. Copper has ----------------- crystal structure.

Question (3): Explain the reason (s):

1. Zinc is widely used in die casting operations.

Zinc has a relatively low melting point,

2. Electrolysis is used during the process of copper production.

to obtain higher purity levels suitable for commercial use.

3. The ductility of aluminum is retained even at very low temperatures.

Because aluminum has an FCC crystal

structure
