3) Pankaj exposed a piece of brass (70% Cu-30% Zn) to dilute hydrochloric acid. 1 point
After sometimes he observed that the surface of the brass became dull in appearance. In
order to find the reason, he characterized the brass sample with the help of scanning
electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. Which of
the following observations are possible in his investigation?

The top most surface has been found to be porous in nature

The copper content has gone up in the surface region of the sample
This has happened due to de-alloying/dezincification
All of these
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
All of these
4) Two metals A and B were welded together as shown in the figure given below. 1 point
After few years of exposure to sea water environment, metal B underwent heavy
corrosion. Which of the following statement is correct?

Corrosion will occur as shown in case (ii)

Corrosion will occur as shown in case (i)
Both case (i) and case (ii) are equally probable
This is the case of pitting corrosion
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Corrosion will occur as shown in case (i)
5) Which of the following statement is not correct? 1 point

Corrosion of zinc increases due to the presence of FeCl3 in the dilute HCl
solution than that in the absence of FeCl3
The failure of silver bridge was caused by growth of a miniature crack in the

steel eye-bar over the years due to stress corrosion and corrosion fatigue
Parts with smoother surface finish undergo lesser corrosion than those with
rough surfaces
Stainless steel does not suffer with pitting corrosion.
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Stainless steel does not suffer with pitting corrosion.
6) Iron was coated with certain metal A. Initially, iron was protected from 1 point
corrosion at room temperature. Therefore, this coated iron was used to make a machine
component which is exposed to a temperature of 800C during its life cycle. After certain
period of installation, it was observed that iron was corroded and coated material was
protected. The possible coating material could be:

Cr

Ni

Zn

Cu

No, the answer is incorrect.

Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Zn

7) Which of the following statements cannot be true in the context of crevice 1 point
corrosion?

Oxygen concentration depletes in the crevice

Acidity increases in the crevice region
Crevice corrosion is more pronounced on flat and smooth surface
Crevice corrosion can be avoided to some extent by regular cleaning of dirt,
dust, mud etc. and by better design consideration
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Crevice corrosion is more pronounced on flat and smooth surface
8) Which of the following riveted joint will loosen quickly? 1 point

Copper rivets in copper plate

Mild steel rivet in copper plate
Brass rivet in copper plate
Aluminium rivet in aluminium plate
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Mild steel rivet in copper plate
9) A coated mild steel pipe and a copper pipe transporting water and natural gas1 point
were laid down in the soil. At some locations, both the pipes touch each other (metal-
to-metal contact). After few months, the steel pipe started leaking at few locations. The
probable cause of the above failure could be

Uniform corrosion took place in the steel pipe

Galvanic cell formed between copper and steel pipes and due to unfavourable
area ratio at coating defects, pipe failed and started leaking
Due to the high pressure of the water, steel pipe failed
This was due to impure water supply
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Galvanic cell formed between copper and steel pipes and due to unfavourable area ratio at
coating defects, pipe failed and started leaking
10)In which of the following cases, uniform corrosion will take place 1 point

Perforation of a water pipe

Cracking of a pipe in the soil
Rusting of mild steel tank in air
Leakage of water pipe by corrosion
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Rusting of mild steel tank in air
