    Heating metal above the critical temperature and then cooling slowly usually in the furnace to reduce the hardness and improve the machinability is called:

    • Normalizing

    • Annealing

    • Tempering

    • Quenching

    Correct Answer
    A. Annealing
    Explanation
    Annealing is the process of heating metal above its critical temperature and then cooling it slowly, usually in a furnace. This process helps to reduce the hardness of the metal and improve its machinability. It allows the metal to undergo recrystallization, which helps to relieve internal stresses and improve its overall structure. Annealing is commonly used to soften metals and make them more workable for further processing or shaping.

    Killed steel is very much associated with: 

    • Manganese

    • Sulfur

    • Phosphorus

    • Silicon

    Correct Answer
    A. Silicon
    Explanation
    Killed steel is a type of steel that has been deoxidized with the addition of silicon. Silicon is added to the steel during the manufacturing process to remove any oxygen present, which helps improve the steel's properties. This process also helps to reduce the formation of undesirable impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus. Therefore, silicon is closely associated with killed steel.

    It is hardening treatment whereby a cast metal is being heated to a very high temperature then suddenly subjected to rapid cooling to improve hardenability or wear resistance is called: 

    • Normalizing

    • Tempering

    • Quenching

    • Annealing

    Correct Answer
    A. Quenching
    Explanation
    Quenching is a hardening treatment process in which a cast metal is heated to a high temperature and then rapidly cooled. This sudden cooling helps to improve the hardenability and wear resistance of the metal. During quenching, the metal undergoes a phase transformation, resulting in an increase in its hardness. This process is often used in industries such as automotive and manufacturing to enhance the mechanical properties of metal components.

    SAE steel that responds to heat treatment: 

    • SAE 1060

    • SAE 1117

    • SAE 1030

    • SAE 1020

    Correct Answer
    A. SAE 1117
    Explanation
    SAE 1117 is the correct answer because it is a low carbon steel that responds well to heat treatment. Heat treatment is a process that involves heating and cooling the steel in order to alter its physical and mechanical properties. SAE 1117 can be easily machined and has good case hardening properties, making it suitable for applications that require high strength and wear resistance. On the other hand, SAE 1060, SAE 1030, and SAE 1020 are not known for their heat treatability and may not exhibit the same level of response to heat treatment as SAE 1117.

    A unit of deformation is called: 

    • Torsion

    • Strain

    • Stress

    • Shear

    Correct Answer
    A. Strain
    Explanation
    Strain is the correct answer because it refers to the unit of deformation. When an object undergoes deformation due to the application of a force, strain measures the amount of deformation that occurs. It quantifies how much an object has stretched or compressed compared to its original size. Torsion, stress, and shear are not units of deformation but rather describe different types or causes of deformation.
