Questions (2026)
1. Which of the following metals has the highest thermal conductivity?
(a) carbon steel
(b) stainless steel
(c) aluminum
Answer: (c)
Explanation: Aluminum has a higher thermal conductivity compared to carbon steel and
stainless steel, making it more efficient at transferring heat.
2. The Ellingham diagram:
(a) is a plot of thermal conductivity against temperature,
(b) shows the free energy of oxide formation against temperature,
(c) shows the rate of oxidation of metals against temperature.
Answer: (b)
Explanation: The Ellingham diagram graphically represents the Gibbs free energy change for
the formation of metal oxides as a function of temperature.
3. True or False?
A metal with a high negative free energy of oxide formation will generally require greater
shielding from the atmosphere during welding.
Answer: True
Explanation: Metals with highly negative free energy values for oxide formation are more
reactive and prone to oxidation, thus requiring better shielding during welding.
4. Electricity can be conducted by:
(a) atoms and electrons,
(b) electrons and ions,
(c) only ions.
