Question 321. A cold chisel is made of
  1.    Mild steel
  2.    Cast iron
  3.    H.S.S.
  4.    High carbon
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> High carbon
Cold chisels are made from carbon tool-steel, which is usually octagonal in cross-section.
Tool-steel is used as it can be hardened to form a hard and tough cutting edge.
To make a cold chisel heat the end of the bar of tool steel until it is bright red and hammer to the desired shape.
Question 322. Cast iron is characterized by minimum of following percentage of carbon
  1.    0.2%
  2.    0.8%
  3.    1.3%
  4.    2%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2%
Cast iron is a ferrous alloy which has more than 2% carbon in it.
Though it can have any percentage of carbon between 2% to 6.67%, but practically it is in between 2% to 4% only.
Question 323. Chromium in steel
  1.    Improves wear resistance, cutting ability and toughness
  2.    Refines grain size and produces less tendency to carburisation, improves corrosion and heat resistant properties
  3.    Improves cutting ability and reduces hardenability
  4.    Gives ductility, toughness, tensile strength and anti-corrosion properties
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Improves wear resistance, cutting ability and toughness
Chromium in steel Increases strength, hardness, hardenability, and toughness, as well as creep resistance and strength at elevated temperatures.
It improves machinability and resistance to corrosion and it intensifies the effects of other alloying elements.
In hot-work steels and high speed steels, it increases red-hardness properties.
Question 324. The electric process of steel making is especially adapted to
  1.    Alloy and carbon tool steel
  2.    Magnet steel
  3.    High speed tool steel
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
Most of the world's steel is produced by the electric-arc method, which uses high-current electric arcs to melt steel scrap and convert it into liquid steel of specified chemical composition and temperature.
This process is adapted to Alloy and carbon tool steel and Magnet steel and High speed tool steel
Question 325. Eutectoid steel contains following percentage of carbon
  1.    0.02%
  2.    0.3%
  3.    0.63%
  4.    0.8%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 0.8%
Eutectoid steel contains 0.8% of carbon
Question 326. The percentage of carbon in pig iron varies from
  1.    0.1 to 1.2%
  2.    1.5 to 2.5%
  3.    2.5 to 3.5%
  4.    3.5 to 4.5%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 3.5 to 4.5%
Pig Iron
Chemical Composition: C: 3.5 - 4.5%, Mn: 0.4 - 1.0%, Si: 0.5 - 1.2%, P: 0.15% Max, S: 0.04% Max.
Question 327. The carbon in the pig iron varies from
  1.    0.1 to 0.5%
  2.    0.5 to 1%
  3.    1 to 5%
  4.    5 to 10%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1 to 5%
Pig Iron
Chemical Composition: C: 3.5 - 4.5%, Mn: 0.4 - 1.0%, Si: 0.5 - 1.2%, P: 0.15% Max, S: 0.04% Max.
Question 328. The percentage of carbon in cast iron varies from
  1.    0.1 to 0.5
  2.    0.5 to 1
  3.    1 to 1.7
  4.    1.7 to 4.5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1.7 to 4.5
Cast iron is a ferrous alloy which has more than 2% carbon in it. Though it can have any percentage of carbon between 2% to 6.67%, but practically it is in between 2% to 4% only.
Question 329. An important property of high silicon (12 - 18%) cast iron is the high
  1.    Hardness
  2.    Brittleness
  3.    Plasticity
  4.    Ductility
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Hardness
High silicon iron-based alloys are excellent corrosion resistant materials with advantages of superior corrosion resistant properties, low cost and saving on noble metals such as nickel and chromium.
When containing 14.5% or more silicon, the corrosion resistance of these iron-based alloys is better than that of some cast irons containing a significant amount of chromium, nickel and/or molybdenum, and even than that of certain nickel based alloys in some severe corrosion conditions.
Question 330. An alloy steel which is work hardenable and which is used to make the blades of bulldozers, bucket wheel excavators and other earth moving equipment contain iron, carbon and
  1.    Chromium
  2.    Silicon
  3.    Manganese
  4.    Magnesium
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Manganese
Manganese increases hardenability and tensile strength of steel, but to a lesser extent than carbon.
It is also able to decrease the critical cooling rate during hardening, thus increasing the steels hardenability much more efficient than any other alloying elements.
Manganese is used to make the blades of bulldozers, bucket wheel excavators and other earth moving equipment contain iron.
