c. None of the above
II- Which of the {111} slip planes in FCC contain the 011 slip direction?
III A single crystal of a BCC metal is oriented so that the [123] direction is parallel
to an applied stress of 500 MPa. Calculate the resolved shear stress acting on the
110 111 , (110) 111 , (101) 111 and (101) 111 slip systems. Which slip
system(s) will become active first?
IV- In a FCC single crystal, a stress of 12 MPa applied along the [321] direction is just
sufficient to cause slip to occur. Determine
-
-

which of the 12 slip systems slips first

the critical resolved shear stress.

V- Based on the following figure:

a- Find the Hall-Petch constants
b- What grain size is required to get a yield strength of 400 MPa?
