    010What do you usually use as a support during the bumping process?

    • A.

      V block

    • B.

      Sandbag

    • C.

      Shrinking block

    • D.

      Hardwood form block

    Correct Answer
    B. Sandbag
    Explanation
    During the bumping process, a sandbag is typically used as a support. This is because a sandbag provides a flexible and malleable surface that can be easily shaped and adjusted to support the object being bumped. The sandbag absorbs the impact and helps distribute the force evenly, preventing any damage or deformation to the object. Additionally, the weight and stability of the sandbag ensure that it stays in place and provides a steady support throughout the bumping process.

    Correct Answer
    A. Shaping objects with abrupt tapers
    Explanation
    A blowhorn stake is a specialized tool used in metalworking to shape objects with abrupt tapers. The shape of the stake allows for precise and controlled shaping of the metal, particularly when it comes to creating tapered forms. This tool is not typically used for double seaming, riveting, or making straight bends or folding and bending edges. Therefore, the best use for a blowhorn stake is shaping objects with abrupt tapers.

      Creasing stake

    Correct Answer
    A. Solid mandrel stake
    Explanation
    A solid mandrel stake is selected to rivet, form, and seam square or rectangular shaped materials. This type of stake is used in metalworking to provide support and stability while shaping or joining these materials. It is a solid, cylindrical tool that can be inserted into the workpiece to provide a solid base for hammering or bending operations. The other options mentioned (conductor stake, blowhorn stake, and creasing stake) are not typically used for riveting, forming, or seaming square or rectangular shaped materials.

    011 which method of curving an extruded angle is usually more satisfactory because it is faster and easier and affects the metals less?

    • A.

      V block

    • B.

      Sandbag

    • C.

      Stretching

    • D.

      Hardwood form block

    Correct Answer
    A. V block
    Explanation
    The V block method of curving an extruded angle is usually more satisfactory because it is faster and easier and affects the metals less. By using a V block, the angle can be easily curved by placing it in the V-shaped groove and applying pressure. This method allows for quick and efficient curving without causing much damage or deformation to the metal. On the other hand, the other options like sandbag, stretching, or hardwood form block may require more time, effort, and may potentially cause more damage to the metal.

    011 if you need to add additional crimps to shrink  a form angle you place them

    • A.

      In the location of the original crimps

    • B.

      On the ends of the formed angle.

    • C.

      Between the original crimps

    • D.

      In the middle of the angle

    Correct Answer
    C. Between the original crimps
    Explanation
    To add additional crimps to shrink a form angle, they should be placed between the original crimps. This is because the original crimps are already in place on the ends of the formed angle, so adding new crimps between them allows for further adjustment and shrinking of the angle. Placing the additional crimps in the location of the original crimps or in the middle of the angle would not be effective in achieving the desired shrinkage.

    011 When forming a flange by shrinking you start hammering on an angle at

    • A.

      Either end,working quickly to the other .

    • B.

      Either end,working gradually to the other.

    • C.

      The center,working quickly towards both ends.

    • D.

      The center,working gradually towards both ends.

    Correct Answer
    D. The center,working gradually towards both ends.
    Explanation
    When forming a flange by shrinking, it is important to start hammering on an angle at the center and gradually work towards both ends. This technique allows for even and controlled shrinking of the metal, resulting in a well-formed flange. Working gradually towards both ends ensures that the metal is evenly shaped and avoids any distortion or unevenness in the flange. Working quickly or starting at either end may lead to uneven shrinking and an imperfect flange.

    011 When you're hand forming an angle by shrinking the flange tends to

    • A.

      Buckle at the end

    • B.

      Buckle at the outside edges

    • C.

      Remain smooth at the inside bend

    • D.

      Remain smooth at the outside edges

    Correct Answer
    A. Buckle at the end
    Explanation
    When hand forming an angle by shrinking, the flange tends to buckle at the end. This means that the material at the end of the flange becomes distorted and forms a buckled shape. This can happen because the shrinking process causes the material to contract, leading to a buildup of stress at the end of the flange. As a result, the flange buckles or deforms at the end rather than remaining smooth.

    (011) When forming a flange by stretching you start hammering on an angle

    • A.

      Near the ends, working quickly to the center.

    • B.

      Near the ends, working gradually to the center

    • C.

      At the center, working quickly toward the ends

    • D.

      At the center, working gradually toward the ends

    Correct Answer
    B. Near the ends, working gradually to the center
    Explanation
    When forming a flange by stretching, starting near the ends and working gradually to the center is the correct approach. This allows for an even distribution of force and prevents the material from being stretched too much in one area. Working gradually also ensures that the flange is formed symmetrically and maintains its shape. Starting at the ends and working quickly to the center would result in uneven stretching and potentially cause the material to warp or deform.

    (013) What grit of sandpaper do you use to properly remove oxidation from the bare metal of a machine surface?

    • A.

      100

    • B.

      180

    • C.

      400

    • D.

      600

    Correct Answer
    C. 400
    Explanation
    To properly remove oxidation from the bare metal of a machine surface, a grit of 400 sandpaper is used. This grit is considered to be medium-fine and is effective in removing the oxidation without causing excessive damage to the metal surface. Using a higher grit such as 600 may not provide enough abrasion to remove the oxidation effectively, while using a lower grit such as 100 or 180 may be too coarse and could potentially scratch or damage the metal surface. Therefore, 400 grit is the most suitable option for this task.
