a) 60
Impact Test - Izod Test b) 26.97
c) 55.84
Impact Test - Charpy
d) 47.9
Test
View Answer
Torsion Test

Fatigue Test Answer: c


Explanation: The atomic weight or atomic mass of stainless steel is
Inspection Methods - 1 typically 55.84. This is because while steel or stainless steel is not an
Inspection Methods - 2 element, it consists primarily of iron. Hence, its atomic mass is
considered 55.84 u.

5. Manganese has a property known as penetration ____________


a) softness
b) hardness 
c) medium
d) ductility

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Manganese has a property commonly known as
penetration hardness. This is when the manganese is subjected to heat
treatment of large sections and hardness penetrates to the core instead
of being limited to the surface.

6. The amount of carbon present in high carbon steel is __________


a) 0.10% to 0.30%
b) 2.2% to 4.5%
c) 0.70% to 2.2%
d) 12% to 13%

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The amount of carbon present in steel di ers. They are
classi ed as high carbon steels, low carbon steels, medium carbon steels
and wrought iron and cast iron. High carbon steel has 0.70% to 2.2% of
carbon.

7. Tungsten steels exhibit a property called “red hardness”.


a) True
b) False 
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The above statement is correct. “Red hardness” of tungsten
steels is an advantageous property. It means that this tungsten
chromium steel used in tools when heated to dull redness tends to keep
its cutting edge.

8. Medium carbon steels are preferred when both ___________ strength and
__________ is necessary.
a) no, brittle nature
b) good, brittle nature
c) no, ductility
d) good, ductility

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Steels that contain di erent levels of carbon exhibit
di erent properties and each type is used for speci c applications.
Medium carbon steels are used when both good strength and ductility
are necessary.

9. __________ element is responsible for “cold shortness”.


a) Manganese
b) Carbon
c) Phosphorus
d) Sulphur

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The element phosphorus is the cause of the phenomenon
“cold shortness” or brittleness. This happens when metal is cold.
Phosphorus is an undesirable element in steels. It should not be present
in more than 0.05% in quantity.

10. Chromium has a __________ melting point.
a) Low
b) High
c) Medium
d) Average

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Chromium is an element that has a high melting point. It is
a hard grey metal. It is a desirable element as it gives strength, magnetic
quality, wear resistance, hardness and corrosion resistance.

11. Molybdenum decreases the ___________ of material.


a) elastic limit
b) grain size
c) homogeneity
d) impact value

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Molybdenum is a very productive element in steel. It
decreases the grain size. It also increases the homogeneity, elastic limit
and impact value. Steels containing molybdenum also exhibit an increase
in air-hardening properties.

12. Tools that are made of tungsten-chromium contain _____ of tungsten.


a) 2% to 4%
b) 5% to 10%
c) 20% to 25%
d) 14% to 18%

View Answer

Answer: d

Explanation: Tungsten steels typically have no use in direct components
of an aircraft. But, tungsten chromium steels are utilized in making tools.
These steels contain 14% to 18% of tungsten and 2% to 4% chromium.

13. Vanadium alloys do not have a trace of chromium in them.


a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The above statement is incorrect. Vanadium alloys are used
in very small quantities. It is very expensive. Vanadium alloys or
speci cally the frequently used chrome-vanadium steel generally
possess around 1% chromium. They have high strength.
