Forming Interview Questions and Answers For Freshers - Sanfoundry

This document discusses extrusion and wire drawing processes. It provides 10 questions and answers about these forming processes. Specifically, it covers that extrusion can be used to form non-ferrous alloys and steel alloys but not iron. It also discusses that cylindrical billets are used for extrusion, direct extrusion is also called forward extrusion, and indirect extrusion uses a hollow ram rather than a solid ram used in direct extrusion. Wire drawing can produce wires up to 0.03mm in size and uses tungsten carbide dies.

This set of Forming Interview Questions and Answers for freshers focuses on “Extrusion and Wire
Drawing”.

1. Extrusion process is not suitable for which of the following?


a) Steel alloys
b) Non-ferrous alloys
c) Stainless steel
d) Iron

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Extrusion process is not suitable for any of the iron alloys, neither is it suitable for iron

2. Which of the following is not made using extrusion?


a) Window frames
b) Doors
c) Helmets
d) Rods

View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Among the following, helmets are not manufactured using extrusion, whereas all othe
products can be manufactured using extrusion.

3. What is the shape of the billet used in extrusion process?


a) Cubical
b) Spherical
c) Cylindrical
d) Pyramidal

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The shape of the billet in an extrusion process is designed to be cylindrical only. A
cubical or spherical or a pyramidal billet cannot be designed for a good output.

4. Which of the following is also called as forward hot extrusion?


a) Direct extrusion
b) Indirect extrusion
c) Impact extrusion
d) Hydrostatic extrusion

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Direct extrusion is also called as forward hot extrusion. This method is most widely used
and maximum production is done by this method in extrusion.

5. Backward extrusion is another name for which of the following?


a) Direct extrusion
b) Indirect extrusion
c) Impact extrusion
d) Hydrostatic extrusion

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Direct extrusion is also called as backward extrusion. In this method, the metal is
extruded back into the plunger.

6. In which of the following operations is a dummy block used?
a) Indirect extrusion
b) Direct extrusion
c) Impact extrusion
d) Hydrostatic extrusion

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In direct extrusion or forward extrusion, a dummy block is used during the functioning
of the extrusion process.

7. Indirect extrusion needs a large amount of force for functioning.


a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Indirect extrusion or backward extrusion does not require a large amount of force fo
operation, as the billet is stationery.

8. Up to what size can wires can be drawn by wire drawing process?


a) 0.01mm
b) 0.02mm
c) 0.03mm
d) 0.04mm

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: It may be counted among one of the limitations of drawing process, that very thin wires
can only be drawn from it. In wire drawing process, wires can be drawn up to the size of 0.03mm.

9. Which of the following metal is used in the wire drawing process in die making?
a) Copper
b
c) Tungsten
d) Magnesium

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: For making dies in the wire extrusion process, copper or iron or magnesium cannot be
used, but the compound tungsten carbide is used.

10. A solid ram is used in direct extrusion.


a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A solid ram is used in direct extrusion or forward extrusion, whereas a hollow ram is
used in indirect extrusion.
