Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. The atmosphere required in the furnace for nitriding the steel component is of ammonia. Nitriding is a heat treatment process that diffuse nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a case-hardened surface.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Refractoriness of the moulding material is the ability to withstand high temperature of molten metal, so that it does not get fused with the metal.
It can be increased by increasing the grain size.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Cutting of a brittle material is non favourable for continuous chips formation. Continuous chips form in ductile material.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Swab is a tool that is used in foundry shop and used for applying water to the mould around the edge of the pattern. This prevents the sand edges from crumbling.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Submerged arc welding, is a common arc welding process, it involves the formation of arc between a continuously fed bare electrode and the work-piece.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. We know that clearance of low carbon steel = 3 % of thickness
C=0.03×1
C=0.03 mm
For punching operation,
Punch Size = Blank size-2C=50-2×0.03
Punch size = 50-0.06
Punch size = 49.94 mm
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Thread cutting used for forming threads on a workpiece, is done at the slowest speed in lathe machine.
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. Abrasive grain size of 10 on grinding wheel refers to coarse grain size. Generally, grain sizes of grinding wheel are 10-24(coarse),30-60(medium),80-200(fine) and 220-600(very fine).
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Plug rolling is used to reduce the thickness of wall and increase the diameter of the tubes.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Double helical gears or Herringbone gears can be easily manufactured by extrusion process.
