Question 71. The machinability of steel is increased by
  1.    Silicon and sulphur
  2.    Phosphorous, lead and sulphur
  3.    Sulphur, graphite and aluminium
  4.    Phosphorous and aluminium
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Phosphorous, lead and sulphur
Phosphorous, lead and sulphur improves machinability and resistance to corrosion and it intensifies the effects of other alloying elements
Question 72. When a steel containing __________ 0.8% carbon is cooled slowly below the lower critical point, it consists of ferrite and pearlite.
  1.    Equal to
  2.    Less than
  3.    More than
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Less than
When a steel containing less than 0.8% carbon is cooled slowly below the lower critical point, it consists of ferrite and pearlite.
Question 73. The hardness is the property of a material due to which it
  1.    Can be drawn into wires
  2.    Breaks with little permanent distortion
  3.    Can cut another metal
  4.    Can be rolled or hammered into thin sheets
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Can cut another metal
Hardness is a measure of the resistance to localized plastic deformation induced by either mechanical indentation or abrasion.
Question 74. White cast iron has
  1.    Carbon in the form of carbide
  2.    Low tensile strength
  3.    High compressive strength
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
When white iron is sheared, the fractured face appears white due to the absence of graphite.
The cementite microcrystalline structure is hard and brittle with a high compressive strength and good wear resistance.
In certain specialized applications, it is desirable to have white iron on the surface of the product.
This can be achieved by using a good conductor of heat to make part of the mold.
This will draw heat out of the molten metal quickly from that specific area, while the rest of the casting cools at a slower rate.
Question 75. The ratio of the volume occupied by the atoms to the total volume of the unit cell is called
  1.    Coordination number
  2.    Atomic packing factor
  3.    Space lattice
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Atomic packing factor
The ratio of the volume occupied by the atoms to the total volume of the unit cell is called Atomic packing factor
Question 76. Which of the following metal is used in making electrical resistance wire for electric furnaces and heating elements?
  1.    Babbitt metal
  2.    Monel metal
  3.    Nichrome
  4.    Phosphor bronze
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Nichrome
Chromium is a powerful alloying element in steel. Cr presents in certain structural steels in small amounts.
It is primarily used to increase hardenability of steel and increase the corrosion resistance as well as the yield strength of the steel material.
For that reason often occurs in combination with nickel and copper. Stainless steels may contain in excess of 12% chromium.
Question 77. Which of the following impurity in cast iron makes it hard and brittle?
  1.    Silicon
  2.    Sulphur
  3.    Manganese
  4.    Phosphorus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sulphur
Sulfur is normally regarded as an impurity and has an adverse effect on impact properties when a steel is high in sulphur and low in manganese.
Sulphur improves machinability but lowers transverse ductility and notched impact toughness and has little effects on the longitudinal mechanical properties.
Question 78. An engineer's hammer is made of
  1.    Cast iron
  2.    Forged steel
  3.    Mild steel
  4.    High carbon steel
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> High carbon steel
An engineer's hammer is made of High carbon steel
Question 79. In the lower part of the blast furnace (zone of fusion), the temperature is
  1.    400°C to 700°C
  2.    800°C to 1000°C
  3.    1200°C to 1300°C
  4.    1500°C to 1700°C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1200°C to 1300°C
In the lower part of the blast furnace (zone of fusion), the temperature is 1200°C to 1300°C
Question 80. The heat treatment process used for softening hardened steel is
  1.    Carburising
  2.    Normalizing
  3.    Annealing
  4.    Tempering
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Tempering
Tempering is a process of heat treating, which is used to increase the toughness of iron-based alloys
