All ques~ions
are of equal value. An equation sheetis attached.

a. The yield strength of polycrystalline low-carbon steel is 622 MPa when the average grain
diameter is 180 ~m {ASTM #2) and 663 MPa (ASTM #8) when the average grain diameter
is,
22. 5 ~m. Use the Hall- Petch relationship to determine the yield strength of the steel
if the
average grain diameter is 11.2 ~m. (ASTM #10).
1
b. Why are smaller grained metals preferred for applications at lower temperaturesand larger
grained materials preferred for applications at higher temperatures?
2.
Telescopesare instruments composedof mirrors, lensesand electro-optical devices used to
collect electromagnetic radiation from distant objects in space.
The resolution of a telescope
is very sensitive to the optical alignment of the various components. Clearly the structure
supporting the active devices must be both stable and stiff. From a materials selection
perspective,telescopesin orbiting platforms or on satellitespresent
a challengmgapplication.
a.
List four requirements for the materials used in the support structure of a telescope
used in a spaceapplication.
b.
Using your four requirements as a guide, briefly discuss the usefulness of metals,
ceramics and polymers in this application.
c.
Is there a material that has the potential to satisfy all four requirements?

shown below.
a.
Choose
the description below (i to iv) thatbest

the microstructure
thatwould be
found
in a 4 w/o Cu alloy in theT6 condition. The specification for the Al inthe T6 condition reads,
"solution heat-treatedplus artificially aged."
