Assignment No. 1 Materials Science and Metallurgy

This document contains a 10-question assignment on materials science and metallurgy. The questions cover topics such as calculating atomic radius using crystal structure parameters, determining Miller indices of crystal planes and directions, calculating interplanar spacings, estimating strain from thermal expansion, calculating elastic deformation of cylindrical specimens under tension, identifying suitable materials for deformation based on given properties, using stress-strain curves and the true stress/true strain relationship, and calculating phase fractions in a hypoeutectoid steel. The assignment requires calculations, drawing crystal planes, and justifying choices based on given data.
