Complete Actual Exam Questions with 100%
Correct Verified Answers/ Rated A+
What is strength? - Correct Answer - Strength is the ability of a material to
withstand a force applied to it
What is ductility? - Correct Answer - Ductility is the amount that a material
can be deformed.
What is malleability? - Correct Answer - Malleability is the ability of a
material to deform without rupturing. This means that the material can be
changed without it breaking
What is hardness? - Correct Answer - Hardness is the ability of a material
to resist wear and abrasion. The harder the material the harder it is to make
a mark on the surface
What is toughness? - Correct Answer - Toughness is the ability of a
material to withstand an impact without breaking. It is the opposite of
brittleness
What is brittleness? - Correct Answer - Brittle materials will shatter in
response to an impact. It is the opposite of toughness
What is stiffness? - Correct Answer - Stiffness is the ability of a material to
resist bending.
pg. 1
,What is the difference between a ferrous and a non-ferrous alloy? - Correct
Answer - Ferrous alloys contain iron. Non ferrous alloys do not.
What is the function of the drill bit?- Correct Answer- To remove material by
drilling through. Creates a circular hole.
What material is the drill bit?- Correct Answer- High Carbon Steel (HCS) /
High Speed Steel (HSS)
What is the function of the chuck?- Correct Answer- To hold the drill bit
securely. Holds different sized drill bits.
What material is the chuck?- Correct Answer- High Carbon Steel (HCS)
What is the function of the handle?- Correct Answer- Comfort and grip
when using the drill.
What material is the casing of the hand drill?- Correct Answer- ABS / HIPS
What material is the over moulding on the handle?- Correct Answer- TPE
(Rubber)
Name 3 advantages of Injection Moulding.- Correct Answer- Complex
shapes
Fast process
Mass production
pg. 2
, Name 3 disadvantages of Injection Moulding.- Correct Answer- Moulds are
expensive to buy/make
Initial set up costs are high
Some very complex shapes are impossible
What are the properties of cast iron? - Correct Answer - 3 - 3.5% carbon
Good compressive strength
Hard, so can be difficult to machine, but suitable for casting
Brittle compared to other ferrous alloys
Poor corrosion resistance
Low cost
What are some uses of cast iron? - Correct Answer - Anvils
Engineering vices
Tool beds
What are the properties of low carbon steel? - Correct Answer - Less than
0.3% carbon
Lower strength
tough and low cost
Can't be hardened
What are some uses of low carbon steel? - Correct Answer - Nails and
screws
Car bodies
Steel sheets
pg. 3
