Question 4

What is the primary benefit of using a lubricant in the drawing process?

Accepted Answer

Reduces friction and wear, enabling greater area reduction

Answer

Increases tensile strength of the drawn material

Answer

Improves surface finish of the drawn product

Question 5

Which defect is commonly associated with the extrusion process?

Accepted Answer

Surface cracking

Answer

Porosity

Answer

Internal voids

Answer

Uneven thickness

Question 6

How does strain hardening affect the workpiece during bulk forming?

Accepted Answer

Increases the material's yield strength and resistance to further deformation

Answer

Reduces the material's tensile strength, making it weaker

Answer

Decreases the material's ductility, making it more brittle

Answer

Grinding

Answer

Polishing

Answer

Tumbling

Question 9

The primary difference between 'hot working' and 'cold working' in bulk forming processes is:

Accepted Answer

The temperature of the workpiece during deformation

Answer

The type of tooling used in the process

Answer

The material's ductility and strength properties

Question 10
