Which of the following rolling processes occur above the recrystallization temperature of the metal?

  1. Hot rolling

  2. Cold rolling

  3. Flat rolling

  4. Foil rolling


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hot rolling is a metalworking process that occurs above the recrystallization temperature of the material. After the grains deform during processing, they recrystallize, which maintains an equiaxed microstructure and prevents the metal from work hardening.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The trigonal planar is a molecular geometry model with one atom at the centre and three atoms at the corners of a triangle, called peripheral atoms, all in one plane. In an ideal trigonal planar species, all three ligands are identical and all bond angles are 120°, e.g. boron trifluoride (BF3), formaldehyde (H2CO), phosgene (COCl2), and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
