This set of Mechanical Behaviour Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Fatigue Behaviour in Iron and Steel”.
1. Fatigue strength of iron and steel _________ with an increase in temperature.
a) Increases
b) Decreases
c) Remains constant
d) First increases and then decreases
View Answer
Explanation: Fatigue strength of materials increases with an increase in temperature above 100ËšC. This value reaches a maximum value between 200ËšC and 400ËšC. After this decrease is seen.
2. Strain ageing process is associated with _________
a) Static loading
b) Dynamic loading
c) Impact loading
d) Unloading
View Answer
Explanation: Strain ageing is a time dependent process. Dislocation movement is the important factor here. It is associated with static loading.
3. Which statement is true for steels?
a) These show distinct fatigue limit
b) Fatigue strength can’t be enhanced
c) Coaxing reduces their fatigue strength
d) Under stressing reduces their fatigue strength
View Answer
Explanation: Steels show distinct fatigue limit. Their fatigue strength can be enhanced. It is by either coaxing or under stressing.
4. Which factor decreases the fatigue strength of iron and steel?
a) Under stressing
b) Coaxing
c) Temperature
d) Notching
View Answer
Explanation: Notching decreases component’s fatigue strength. It is because of the stresses associated with it. Coaxing, under stressing and increasing temperature enhance fatigue strength of steels.
5. What temperature gives maximum fatigue strength of steels?
a) Below 100ËšC
b) 100-200ËšC
c) 200-400ËšC
d) 500-600ËšC
View Answer
Explanation: Fatigue strength of steels increase with an increase in temperature. It increases above about 100ËšC. It attains a maximum between 200 and 400ËšC.
6. Which property is enhanced by strain ageing?
a) Tensile strength
b) Ductility
c) Stiffness
d) Yield strength
View Answer
Explanation: Tensile curve shifts by strain hardening. It is time and temperature dependent. Its main motive is to enhance yield strength.
7. In which materials, increase in fatigue strength by coaxing is possible?
a) Ferrous
b) Strain ageable
c) Non-ferrous
d) Plastics
View Answer
Explanation: Strain ageing is an important factor for coaxing. So fatigue strength enhancement is only possible for materials which can be strain aged.
8. A material is a fatigue tested below the fatigue limit for few millions of cycles and then retested at higher than fatigue limit. This process is known as ___________
a) Under stressing
b) Coaxing
c) Bridging
d) Toughening
View Answer
Explanation: A material is a fatigue tested below the fatigue limit for few millions of cycles and then retested at higher than fatigue limit. This process is known as coaxing. For steels and irons, it enhances fatigue strength.
9. What is the diffusion rates of carbon and nitrogen atoms markedly dependent on?
a) Temperature
b) Load
c) Crystal structure
d) Fatigue strength
View Answer
Explanation: Diffusion rate is mainly dependent on temperature. It causes the strain ageing. It leads to strengthening.
10. Tensile strength decrease by strain ageing.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Tensile strength is increased by strain ageing. Yield strength also increases because of tensile curve shifting.
11. Yield point phenomenon is more marked in annealed low carbon steels.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Yield point phenomenon is seen in various non-ferrous materials too. But this is more marked in annealed low carbon steels due to the presence of carbon atoms.
