Q1 | Which of the following is core hardening process?
  • CO2 process
  • Cold set process
  • Furan system
  • All of the above
Q2 | Blow holes in castings are due to
  • high moisture content of the sand
  • low permeability of sand
  • excessive fine grains and gas producing ingredients
  • any of the above
Q3 | When wooden patterns with metallic coating are to be used, the metal sprayed on wooden pattern could be
  • bismuth
  • zinc
  • aluminium
  • any of the above
Q4 | Shell moulding can be used for
  • producing thin castings
  • better surface finish
  • tolerances of the order of 0.002 mm per mm
  • all of the above
Q5 | In case of carbondioxide moulding, the binder used is generally
  • coal dust
  • graphite
  • sodium silicate
  • china clay
Q6 | Aluminium castings are not repaired by
  • inert gas metal arc welding
  • braze welding
  • soldering
  • All of the above
Q7 | First step in reclaiming the moulding and core sand is
  • addition of moisture
  • reproportioning of binder
  • separation of metal particles
  • any of the above
Q8 | If ash content of coke used in cupola is high then
  • melting rate will be low
  • castings produced will have blow holes
  • more of flux will be required
  • carbon content of castings will be low
Q9 | Non-uniform distribution of alloying components, inclusions and impurities in an ingot or casting are known as
  • ageing
  • bleeding
  • innoculation
  • segregation
Q10 | Clay used for foundry sand should be
  • kaolinite
  • montmorillonite
  • illite
  • any of the above
Q11 | Phenolic thermo-setting plastics are finding application in pattern making because
  • they do not absorb moisture
  • they are resistant to wear
  • they have all above qualities
  • they are strong
Q12 | The location of riser least depends on
  • the size of core
  • feasibility of directional solidification
  • the metal to be cast
  • design of casting
Q13 | In case of cast steel, the contraction allowance will be least for castings having dimensions
  • upto 600 mm
  • 1000 mm to 1800 mm
  • 600 to 1000 mm
  • above 1800 mm
Q14 | The "Green sand" is termed so, because
  • it is green in colour
  • it contains moisture
  • none of the above
Q15 | A designer would attempt to avoid bosses and pads in the casting because
  • projections such as bosses and pads can not merge with thinner sections
  • it is difficult to incorporate in pattern
  • they being thicker will take longer to solidify and hence will suffer from residual stresses and coarse grains
  • mould formation is difficult in pressence of boss
Q16 | Padding is
  • a method for production of chilled castings
  • an extra support for thin castings
  • an extra metal added to the original uniform section of the casting
  • none of the above
Q17 | In case of cored aluminium castings, the contraction allowance is
  • more than the normal allowance
  • less than the normal allowance
  • same as the normal allowance
Q18 | Chemical dipping of die casted parts is usually done for
  • flash removal
  • dimensional stability
  • corrosion protection
  • none of the above
Q19 | Head storage capacity of moulding sand can be increased by adding?
  • graphite
  • chromite
  • magnesium powder
  • any of the above
Q20 | Sand grains which give high mould strength are
  • Sub-angular grains
  • Rounded grains
  • Sharp or Angular grains
Q21 | Oil fired furnaces are generally used for the melting of
  • alloy steel
  • cast steel
  • cast iron
  • non-ferrous metals
Q22 | Electric indirect are furnace is normally used for melting of
  • alloy steels
  • cast steels
  • non-ferrous metals
  • all of the above
Q23 | Wood used for pattern making has knots. This is likely to affect
  • warping of the piece
  • machinability of pattern
  • moisture content of wood
  • all of the above
Q24 | As a result of melting of cast iron in cupola, which of the following constituent undergoes least change in its percentage?
  • Manganese
  • Phosphorous
  • Silicon
  • Sulphur
Q25 | Investment casting can be used for which of the following alloys
  • cobalt based satellite
  • Tool steels
  • Hynes super alloys
  • All of the above
