QUESTION 18 Ceramics cannot deform plastically because of the absence of QUESTION 19 Fatigue of metal alloys may be considered to correspond to o the ductile fracture of the alloy after a number of cycles above the yield strength O the brittle fracture of the alloy after a number of cycles above the yield strength O the ductile fracture of the alloy after a number of cycles below the yield strength O the brittle fracture of the alloy after a number of cycles below the yield strength QUESTION 20 A fine grained material is O harder than a one that is coarse grained O stronger than a one that is coarse grained O harder and stronger than a one that is coarse grained O has a lower yield strength than a one that is coarse grained

Explanation / Answer

Ans 18 : non directional bonds

Ceramics cannot deform plastically because of the absence of non directional bonds.

For the material to deform plastically , it must possess non directional bonds. Since ceramics have directional bonds in them which orient in one particular way or break , they cannot be deformed plastically.
