Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.1P
To determine
Composition of material.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Alloy and other material are formed by two or more elements. The material and alloy have different properties depending upon percentage of elements in the material. This percentage amount of elements in the material is known as composition of material. Composition of material majorly depends on the temperature.
Properties of material change with the composition of any elements in the material.
Thus, the percentage amount of elements in material is known as composition of material.

Subject: Strength of materials
You are an engineer for a steel plant. You are presented with a piece of steel from your rival plant. You
investigate the microstructure and find it to contain 60 % ferrite and 40% martensite, and the
martensite contains 0.5% carbon.
Based on this information, reverse engineer the nominal composition and starting temperature used by
your rival.
You may assume the composition of ferrite to be 0.022 %.
(Round the composition to 2 decimal places, and the temperature to the nearest 25 degrees Celsius)
O 0.31wt% C at 725 Celsius
O 0.21wt% C at 725 Celsius
0.26wt% C at 775 Celsius
O 0.26wt% Cat 725 Celsius
O 0.21wt% C at 775 Celsius
0.31wt% Cat 775 Celsius
