1. Which type of defect are line defects?
a) One-dimensional defect
b) Zero-dimensional defect
c) Two-dimensional defect
d) Three-dimensional defect
Explanation: Line defects are one dimensional defects as they extend in a singular direction in space. Line defects are present in solids whereas the whole row of atoms is arranged in anomalous order. Hence line defects are linear defects and one dimensional in nature.
2. Edge dislocation and skew dislocation are linear crystalline defects.
a) True
b) False
Explanation: Line defects are mainly dislocations which can be broadly classified into two distinct defects. These two dislocations are called edge dislocation and screw dislocation.
3. Which of the following statement is false?
a) Burger vector is the right angle to edge dislocation
b) In screw defect the line defect is parallel to the displacement vector
c) Grain boundary defect is a type of line defect
d) Line defect occurs during the recrystallization process or during slip
Explanation: Grain boundary defect is a two-dimensional defect. Grain boundary is the interface between two grains and hence they stop the dislocations from moving freely. Therefore, they cause a two-dimensional defect to spread around the grain boundary
4. In which type of dislocation an extra plane is inserted inside the crystal?
a) Edge dislocation
b) Screw dislocation
c) Jog dislocation
d) Mixed dislocation
Explanation: The edge defect is simply pictured as an additional half plane of atoms in a lattice. The dislocations are termed a line defect because of the number of defective points created within the lattice along a line. Hence, an extra plane of atoms is added inside the crystal in this type of defect.
5. What is the difference between the angle of Burgers vector and dislocation line in edge dislocation and screw dislocation?
a) -90 degrees
b) 0 degrees
c) 45 degrees
d) 90 degrees
Explanation: The angle between Burgers vector and dislocation line in edge dislocation is 90 degrees while the angle between burger vector and dislocation line for screw dislocation is 0 degree. To find the difference we have subtract 0 from 90, giving us 90 degrees as our final answer.
6. To determine yield strength of a material which of the following needn’t be affected?
a) Solute hardening
b) Precipitation hardening
c) Work hardening
d) Martensic transformation
Explanation: Burgers vector plays an important role in determining yield strength by affecting solute hardening, precipitation hardening and work hardening. Martensic transformation which refers to quenching from high temperature doesn’t play any role in the determination of yield strength.
7. In which type of dislocation planes are displaced relative to each other through shear?
a) Edge dislocation
b) Screw dislocation
c) Jog dislocation
d) Mixed dislocation
Explanation: In screw dislocation, planes are displaced relative to each other through shear. The trace of the atomic planes around the screw dislocation makes spiral or whorled path sort of resembling a screw and hence, it is named screw dislocation
8. In an edge dislocation, a helical path is traced around the dislocation line.
a) True
b) False
Explanation: A helical path is traced along the dislocation line in screw dislocation whereas in edge dislocation a new additional half plane of an atom is inserted and a screw like path is not traced by the dislocation.
9. Which of the following is fields are not present for edge dislocation?
a) Tensile
b) Compressive
c) Shear stress
d) Strain
Explanation: In the edge dislocation, tensile, compressive and shear stress field are present due to an additional half plane of atom added because of which stresses are produced but no strain is produced because of an edge dislocation.
10. Which of the following is fields are present for screw dislocation?
a) Tensile
b) Compressive
c) Shear stress
d) Strain
Explanation: As in screw dislocation a helical path is traced along a dislocation line, there is only presence of shear stress field and no compressive, tensile or strain field is produced. Shear stress field is produced due to the spiral aspect of this type of dislocation.
