Materials Science and Engineering Quiz

Silicon is widely used in electronic devices due to its semiconductor properties.

Oxidation involves the reaction of a metal with oxygen to form an oxide.

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust.

Cement is the primary ingredient in concrete, binding the aggregate materials together.

Copper is the primary component of bronze, typically alloyed with tin.

Sublimation is the direct transition of a substance from solid to gas phase without passing through the liquid phase.

Iron is the main component of stainless steel, along with chromium and other elements.

Carburizing involves introducing carbon into the surface of iron or steel to improve hardness.

Elasticity refers to a material's ability to recover its original shape after being deformed.

Ceramics often exhibit brittle fracture behavior, breaking without significant deformation.

Electroplating involves using an electric current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a conductive surface.

Fiberglass is a composite material made of glass fibers embedded in a polymer matrix.

Nickel-Titanium alloy, also known as Nitinol, shows shape memory effect, returning to its original shape after deformation.
