b.
c.
Sketch the FCC, BCC and HCP crystal structures.
How many atoms are in each unit cell?
Identify the close packed directions and close packed plane in each cell.
2.
For an HCP crystal, show that the c/a ratio is 1.633 for an ideal structure.
3.
Show that the atomic packing factor for BCC is 0.68
4.
Titanium, an HCP metal, has an atomic radius of 0.145 nm and a molecular
weight of 47.88 g/mol.
a.
If c/a =- 1.58, what is the volume of the unit cell?
b.
What would the density be if Ti was FCC?
