1.Would you expect a crystalline ceramic material to strain harden at room temperature? Why or why not?
2.When making hardness measurements, what will be the effect of making an indentation very close to a preexisting indentation? Why?
3.On the basis of melting temperature, oxidation resistance, yield strength, and degree of brittleness, discuss whether it would be advisable to hot work or to cold work (a) aluminum alloys, and (b) magnesium alloys
4.Briefly explain why a proeutectoid phase (ferrite or cementite) forms along austenite grain boundaries.
