A. Define mechanical property.
B. In the most basic terms explain what happens during heat treatment.
C. A metal fabricator wants to make a spur gear from mild steel. However, the application of the entire gear requires hardness and wear-rcsistance. State and explain the most suitable heat treatment process that would impart these properties.
D. A specimen of mild steel was put under tensile testing; the dimensions of the specimen before testing were (50 mm gauge length and 12 mm diameter). After the test the specimen had dimensions (55 mm in length and 1 1.46 mm diameter). Calculate:
i. Percent elongation
ii. Percent reduction in area
E. Sketch a typical stress strain cure for mild steel and indicate the following points.
1. Elastic Limit ii. Yield Point iii. Fracture Point
