Material Science Test 1

1. Define smart material. [4m]

2. Find atomic packing factor for a BCC structure. [6m]
3. Sketch the plane of (110) and calculate its planar density if the structure of the element if FCC
with a radius of 0.391nm. [8m]
4. It has been determined that the steady state diffusion flux of nitrogen through a steel plate is
1.5x10-8 kg.s-1/m 2 at a temperature of 1300K, and for a concentration gradient of -300kg/m4.
What concentration gradient is necessary to give a diffusion flux of 5.0x10-8 kg.s-1/m2 at 1500K
if the activation energy for diffusion is 124 kJ/mol?[16m]
