Which of the following metal forming processes involves the application of pressure to a workpiece using a punch and die?

  1. Rolling

  2. Forging

  3. Extrusion

  4. Drawing


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Forging involves the application of pressure to a workpiece using a punch and die, causing it to deform and take the shape of the die.

In the rolling process, the workpiece is passed between a pair of rotating rolls. What is the primary purpose of the rolls?

  1. To reduce the thickness of the workpiece

  2. To increase the length of the workpiece

  3. To change the shape of the workpiece

  4. To improve the surface finish of the workpiece


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary purpose of the rolls in the rolling process is to reduce the thickness of the workpiece by applying pressure.

Which of the following is a common type of forging process where the workpiece is compressed between two dies?

  1. Open-die forging

  2. Closed-die forging

  3. Upset forging

  4. Roll forging


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Closed-die forging involves compressing the workpiece between two dies, causing it to take the shape of the dies.

In the extrusion process, the workpiece is forced through a die opening. What is the primary purpose of the die?

  1. To reduce the thickness of the workpiece

  2. To increase the length of the workpiece

  3. To change the shape of the workpiece

  4. To improve the surface finish of the workpiece


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The primary purpose of the die in the extrusion process is to change the shape of the workpiece by forcing it through a specific opening.

Which of the following metal forming processes involves pulling the workpiece through a die to reduce its cross-sectional area?

  1. Rolling

  2. Forging

  3. Extrusion

  4. Drawing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Drawing involves pulling the workpiece through a die to reduce its cross-sectional area and increase its length.

In the bending process, a force is applied to a workpiece to cause it to deform and take a curved shape. What is the primary factor that determines the radius of curvature of the bend?

  1. The thickness of the workpiece

  2. The material properties of the workpiece

  3. The force applied to the workpiece

  4. The distance between the supports


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the bend is primarily determined by the distance between the supports used to hold the workpiece during bending.

Which of the following metal forming processes involves the use of a rotating tool to remove material from the workpiece?

  1. Milling

  2. Turning

  3. Drilling

  4. Grinding


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Turning involves the use of a rotating tool to remove material from the workpiece, resulting in a cylindrical or conical shape.

In the shearing process, a force is applied to a workpiece to cause it to separate into two pieces. What is the primary factor that determines the quality of the cut?

  1. The sharpness of the cutting tool

  2. The material properties of the workpiece

  3. The thickness of the workpiece

  4. The speed of the cutting tool


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The quality of the cut in the shearing process is primarily determined by the sharpness of the cutting tool.

Which of the following metal forming processes involves the use of a punch and die to create a hole in a workpiece?

  1. Punching

  2. Shearing

  3. Bending

  4. Drawing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Punching involves the use of a punch and die to create a hole in a workpiece by applying pressure.

In the blanking process, a workpiece is cut into a specific shape using a punch and die. What is the primary difference between blanking and punching?

  1. Blanking produces a hole in the workpiece, while punching produces a solid shape.

  2. Blanking produces a solid shape, while punching produces a hole in the workpiece.

  3. Blanking uses a punch and die, while punching uses a single tool.

  4. Blanking is a cold forming process, while punching is a hot forming process.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary difference between blanking and punching is that blanking produces a solid shape from the workpiece, while punching produces a hole.

Which of the following metal forming processes involves the use of a rotating tool to shape the external surface of a workpiece?

  1. Turning

  2. Milling

  3. Drilling

  4. Grinding


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Turning involves the use of a rotating tool to shape the external surface of a workpiece, resulting in a cylindrical or conical shape.

In the drilling process, a rotating tool with a sharp cutting edge is used to create a hole in a workpiece. What is the primary factor that determines the size of the hole?

  1. The diameter of the cutting tool

  2. The material properties of the workpiece

  3. The speed of the cutting tool

  4. The depth of the hole


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The size of the hole in the drilling process is primarily determined by the diameter of the cutting tool.

Which of the following metal forming processes involves the use of a rotating tool to remove material from the internal surface of a workpiece?

  1. Boring

  2. Reaming

  3. Tapping

  4. Counterboring


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Boring involves the use of a rotating tool to remove material from the internal surface of a workpiece, resulting in a cylindrical or conical shape.

In the reaming process, a rotating tool with multiple cutting edges is used to enlarge and smooth an existing hole in a workpiece. What is the primary purpose of reaming?

  1. To increase the diameter of the hole

  2. To improve the surface finish of the hole

  3. To remove burrs from the hole

  4. To align the hole with a specific axis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary purpose of reaming is to improve the surface finish of an existing hole in a workpiece.

Which of the following metal forming processes involves the use of a rotating tool to create threads on the internal surface of a workpiece?

  1. Tapping

  2. Threading

  3. Knurling

  4. Milling


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tapping involves the use of a rotating tool to create threads on the internal surface of a workpiece, allowing for the insertion of screws or bolts.
