There are three such defects of POINT, LINE and SURFACE defects, discuss these defects. (10) [20] 2. 1 Question Two It is important to understand the MELTING CHARACTERISTICS of metals for different manufacturing processes. Discuss the melting characteristics of pure metal elements and alloyed metal elements. (10) The storage and flow of heat within a material is of importance as it determines energy levels, SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY determines this characteristic. Discuss these characteristic and also explain the thermal properties in manufacturing. (10) [20] 3: & Question Three Draw and label the phase diagram of temperature verses % weight of tin for TIN ~ LEAD (Sn — Pb) alloy system. [10] Using the sketch of 3.1 explain the phase diagram. Your explanation must include the a, Band eutectic composition and eutectic temperature (10) {20}Engineering Materials and Science 1 (EMSC102) June 2013 Supplementary Question Four 4.1 Natural rubber is derived from latex, a milky substance produced by various plants. Explain how th properties, stating its advantages as well as its limitations. (10) is extracted, its characteris! 4.2. With the aid ofa graph, Specific volume vs Temperature, discuss the thermal behaviour of Polymers. (10) [20] Question Five 5.1 With the aid of suitable sketches explain how the orientation of reinforcement fibers increases the strength of composite materials. (10) 5.2. With the aid of a graph, TENSILE STRENGTH vs FIBER DIAMETER, discuss the role played by the diameter of the fiber for strength enhancement. (10) [20] TOTAL MARKS 100 = 100 %
