Question

thermal treatment is able to create harder metallic structure? A. Tempering: B. Annealing: C. Quenching I8. Which fabrication method is NOT suitable for brittle metals? A Forming: B. Casting: C. Power Metallurgy 19 Which one is the minimum temperature for hot working of metals? A. Glass transition temperature: B. Recrystallization temperature; C. Melting temperature The images below show microstructures of three types of cast irons, and please answer questions 20-25 20. Which one of these three cast iron structures has the best ductility? 21. Which one represents the microstructure of gray iron? 22. Which one has excellent wear property? 23. The fabrication of which needs Ce? 24, which one is produced when Si content is

Explanation / Answer

17. A - Tempering is the process of heating a metal to achieve higher hardness and elasticity.

18. A - brittle materials cannot be formed due to it's low ductile nature and elasticity property.

19. C - working of metals below its melting temperature is called hot working of metals

20. C - because of the presence of graphite rosettes in a ferrite matrix

21. A - Dark graphite flakes are embedded in ferrite matrix for grey cast iron

22. A - Due to its self lubricating property due to the presence of graphite rosettes

23. A - Cerium is added in white cast iron

24. A - Grey cast iron has silicon content in the range of 1 - 3%

25. B - Cementite is the intermetallic compound of carbon and iron, which is present in white cast iron.
