UNIT-I
CASTING PROCESS
1. What is casting?
Casting is obtained by pouring of molten metal into mould and allows solidifying.
2. What do you meant by moulding?
The process of making mould is called moulding. It includes filling of moulding
sand around the pattern, ramming, removing the pattern, making runner, riser,
gate and vent holes.
3. Name the types of pattern?
Single piece pattern.
Split pattern.
4. What is meant by loose piece pattern?
Some pattern cannot be removed from mould as a single piece. So loose piece
patterns are used with solid pattern for easy removal
5. When split patterns are used?
Some pattern cannot be removed from mould as a single piece. So split patterns
are used with solid pattern, it is made of two parts.
6. Name the materials used for making pattern?
Wood
Metal
Plaster
Plastic
Wax.
7. State two advantages of Aluminium as pattern material?
Aluminium is light in weight
It melts at low temperature.
It does not get rusted.
8. Why plastic is used as a pattern material?
It is not affected by moisture
The dimensional accuracy is more
It has light weight but strong.
9. What is master pattern?
For making a metal pattern, a wooden pattern is used. The wooden pattern used to
make a metal pattern is called master pattern.
10. State any two factors for selecting pattern material?
Quantity of casting to be produced
Quality
Casting and moulding method adopted.
Intricacy (complexity) of the castings to be produced.
UNIT-II
JOINING PROCESS
1. Define welding
Welding is a process of joining similar metals by the application of heat. It can be
done with or without application of pressure.
2. Enumerate two basic types of welding
Plastic welding
Fusion welding
3. Define arc welding
Arc welding is process of joining two metal pieces by melting their edges by an
electric arc.
4. State the expansion of TIG welding & MIG welding
TIG – Tungsten inert gas welding
MIG – Metal Inert gas welding
5. List some advantages of plasma arc welding
All metals can be welded in this process.
No need of filler rod
Welding speed is high
6. When electro slag welding is applied?
This welding is used to weld thick plate of 25 mm or more.
7. Write down the equipments used in gas welding?
Gas cylinders
Regulators
Pressure gauges
Hoses
Welding torch
8. Name any two types of gas flames
Neutral flame
Carburising flame
Oxidising flame
9. State two advantages of gas welding
Cost of welding equipment is less.
The maintenance cost is low.
The amount of filler metal deposit can be controlled easily.
10. Mention any two application of Carburising flame
It is used for welding steel, alloy steels, non-ferrous metals, nickel and Monel metal.
11. What is meant by resistance welding?
In resistance welding, the metal is heated to plastic stage due to heat generated by the
resistance.
24. What is the main difference between destructive and non-destructive testing?
In destructive testing method, the test is conducted by destroying the welded
joint. So the tested work piece cannot be used.
In non-destructive testing method, the test is conducted without destroying
the welded joint.
25. Mention any two safety measures during gas welding
The gas cylinders should not be kept near the heat sources
Fire extinguishing equipment is necessary
Quality hoses should be used.
26. List out the safety features of arc welding
A specific voltage and current should be maintained
The electrode holder should be properly insulated
Welding should be done in safer place.
UNIT-III
BULK DEFORMATION PROCESSES
AND HEAT TREATMENT
5. Define forging
Producing a component to the required shape by applying a compressive or impact
force is called forging.
6. How the forging operations are classified
Forging operations are classified into
Smith forging
Impression die forging
Roll forging
Swaging
7. Mention the limitations of drop forging
Large anvil and strong foundation are needed
More noise and vibration
The die may wear out quickly.
8. Where is upset forging is applied?
It is used to produce the bolt head, rivet head, collars, cylindrical pins, flanges, etc..
9. Define heat treatment
Heat treatment is the process of modifying the required properties of metal and metal
alloys. It is improved by the metal and metal alloys to different temperature and
cooling at specific rate.
10. What are the factors that influence microstructure?
The microstructure of steel depends upon
Carbon content
Temperature
Rate of heating or cooling
11. Name the microstructures of steel
The different microstructures of steel are Austenite, ferrite, Pearlite, cementite.
12. What is iron carbon equilibrium diagram?
Iron carbon equilibrium diagram is the graphical representation of the phase changes
undergone by iron with different percentage of carbon content on cooling or heating.
13. What is hyper eutectoid steel?
The hyper eutectoid steel contains 0.8% to 2% of carbon.
14. Define critical temperature of metal?
Critical temperature is the temperature at which physical property and micro structure
of metal starts changing.
15. Name any two heat treatment processes
