About what percentage of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is accounted for by the manufacturing industries?
12
What are the four categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing?
Materials, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites
What is the difference between primary and secondary bonding in the structure of materials?
Primary bonding is strong bonding between atoms in a material, for example to form a molecule; while secondary bonding is not as strong and is associated with attraction between molecules in the material.
A production planning and control department accomplishes which of the following functions in its role of providing manufacturing support?
Schedules the order of products on a machine
how well a material will resist scratching. Usually tested by the Brinell and Rockwell Hardness Tests

An outside micrometer would be appropriate for measuring which of the following?
shaft diameter
In a GO/NO-GO gage, which one of the following best describes the function of the GO gage:
checks maximum material condition
when atoms share electrons
covelant bonds
Which one of the following types of stress strain relationship best describes the behavior of brittle materials such as ceramics and thermosetting plastics:
perfectly elastic
the maximum load experienced during the tensile test divided by the original area.
tensile strength
A pure metal element melts at one temperature (the melting point), while an alloy begins melting at a certain temperature called the solidus and finally completes the transformation to the molten state at a higher temperature called the liquidus.
A pure metal element melts at one temperature (the melting point), while an alloy beg
What is the difference between engineering stress and true stress in a tensile test
Engineering stress divides the load (force) on the test specimen by the original area; whereas true stress divides the load by the instantaneous area which decreases as the specimen stretches.
How do grain boundaries contribute to the strain hardening phenomenon in metals?
Grain boundaries block the continued movement of dislocations in the metal during straining. As more dislocations become blocked, the metal becomes more difficult to deform; in effect it becomes stronger.
defines the stress strain relationship for an elastic material
Hooke's law.
Inventions of the Industrial Revolution include which one of the following:
Steam engine
What are the three types of static stresses to which materials are subjected?
Tensile, compressive and shear

How are product variety and production quantity related when comparing typical factories?
inversely
atoms of one element give up their outer electron(s) to the atoms of another element to form complete outer shells.
ionic bonding
application of physical and chemical processes to alter the geometry, properties, and/or appearance of a given starting material to make parts or products
