the area under a stress-strain curve
300

Steels have less of this, cast irons have more.

carbon content

300
The line that bounds the bottom of the liquid phase field.

liquidus

300

This is what you call heating untempered martensite to 1100°F, holding for an hour, and cooling to room temperature.

tempering

300

Moderately ductile metals have this type of fracture surface

steel 

400

The general name for iron with carbon and other elements. 

alloyed steels

400
Solder is manufactured at this composition because of its low melting point.

eutectic composition

400

The following are examples of ____:
-precipitation processes which produce submicroscopic particles during low temp heat treating

-increasing carbon content of low-carbon steels

-mechanical deformation below the recrystallization temp

strengthening mechanisms

400

This value is higher than engineering stress at fracture because it takes into account the instantaneous area of the specimen, instead of the original area.

true stress

500

500

A steel with a fracture toughness of 125,000 psi*in^1/2 has a yield strength of 150,000 psi and a surface crack that is 0.18 inches deep. This is the type of behavior the material will undergo first as the load is increased from zero (deformation vs fracture).
