Questiоn 1 Chоice Questiоns. Multiple or single choices (22 points): eаch correct аnswer is worth +2 аnd each incorrect answer is -1. Minimum score on a given question is 0. 1.1 - Which of the following statement is incorrect: dG=0 at the phase equilibrium state dG=0 at the phase transformation rate equilibrium The reason we can do ice skating is that the phase transition happens on ice Gibbs phase rule is F = C + 1 − P for binary phase diagram Clausius Clapeyron equation describes the phase regions in phase diagram In a ternary phase system, the theoretical maximum number of phases that can be in equilibrium is 5 1.2 - According to the following figure, comparing with the cooling processes for a Cu-Ni Alloy from A to C and from B to C, which of the following statement is correct? The process from A to C will generate larger nuclei than the process from B to C. The process from A to C will generate smaller nuclei than the process from B to C. Both processes have the same size of nuclei. The process from A to C will generate more nuclei than the process from B to C. The process from A to C will generate less nuclei than the process from B to C. 1.3 - Which of the following statement is correct: Nucleation rate increases exponentially as temperature increases Growth rate increases exponentially as temperature increases Overall transformation rate increases exponentially as temperature increases The temperature at the ‘nose’ of TTT curve is always the same with the temperature at the rate equilibrium where the nucleation rate equals to the growth rate. The temperature at the ‘nose’ of TTT curve is not always the same with the temperature at the rate equilibrium where the nucleation rate equals to the growth rate. Avrami equation describes kinetics and determines TTT curve. 1.4 - Consider solidification at a mold wall, which of the following statement are correct? See the diagram below. Assume melting point Tm is constant. Dendritic microstructures will be generated whenT1>T2 Dendritic microstructures will be generated whenT1
