Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze how reducing the grain size of a metal could affect its application in the aerospace industry. What challenges might arise from using a nanocrystalline metal?

💡 Hint: Consider both benefits and limitations when addressing material transformations.

Question 2

Calculate the potential hardness of a nanocomposite made from two different nanocrystalline materials, one with a hardness of 720 HV (Vickers Hardness) and another with 950 HV. Assume a proportional property enhancement based on grain size. What will the average hardness be?

💡 Hint: Think about how combining materials can affect overall characteristics.
