D. Platinum
E. Stainless steel
F. Magnesium
G. Gray cast iron

A tool steel would be the best choice for a drill bit because it is very hard and wear resistant, and,
thus, will retain a sharp cutting edge.

24. Which of the following alloys is most suitable for high-temperature furnace elements to be used
in oxidizing environments?

A. Titanium alloy
B. Aluminum
C. Tool steel
D. Platinum
E. Stainless steel
F. Magnesium
G. Gray cast iron

Platinum is the best choice for high-temperature furnace elements to be used in oxidizing
atmospheres because it is very ductile, has a relatively high melting temperature, and is highly
resistant to oxidation.

25. Hot working takes place at a temperature that is above a metal's

A. melting temperature
B. recrystallization temperature
C. eutectoid temperature
D. glass transition temperature

Hot working takes place at a temperature that is above a metal's recrystallization temperature.
