Problem

Alloy A (Fe + 0.20 wt % C) has an ultimate tensile strength of 250 MPa, whereas Alloy B (Fe + 1.00 wt % C) has an ultimate tensile strength of 600 MPa. Determine which alloy experiences the greater lattice distortion and briefly justify how this distortion accounts for the difference in tensile strength.
