252. Forging is a metal forming operation in which the metal is stretched to form
the desired shape of a metal part. a
A. true
q M
B. false c
Answer: B M
Explanation:- forging is a metal forming operation in which heated metal is beaten by a hammer to
give it the desired shape. it is basically a deformation process in which the material is compressed
between dies by using impact load to deform it. forging can also be used for making complex
shapes of metal parts.

253. In general, the casted metal part is much stronger and tougher than that
produced by the forging operation.
A. true
B. false
Answer: B
Explanation:- in general, forged parts are much stronger and tougher than the casted parts made
from the same metal. the metal components have high strength because the hammering operation
maintains its structure that makes proper alignment of grains along the profile of metal components,
which leads to an increase in strength.
254. The open die forging process is also known as upsetting or upset forging
process.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- in an open die forging process, the metal billet is heated up to a very high temperature
and then compressed between two flat die halves. this method is like a compression test, which is
also known as upsetting or upset forging. in the process, billet is basically deformed by a decrease
in its height and increase in its diameter.

255. Which of the following processes is mainly used for making the connecting
rods?
A. casting
B. deep drawing
C. rolling
D. forging
Answer: D
Explanation:- connecting rods are generally manufactured by the forging operation. in forging, a
hammer is used which strikes on the heated metallic part to get into the desired shape. the
properties like strength, toughness, etc are greatly enhanced by performing the forging operation.
forging can be open die forging or closed die forging.

256. In impression die forging process, extra deformed material is produced which
is called a flash.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- in impression die forging process, flash can be produced which is considered as scrap
material that is removed from the formed part during the finishing of a metal part. but in flash-less
forging, the metal is fully prevented within the die, so no flash is produced during the process.

257. A cone shaped die is used in the orbital forging for the forging of metal parts.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- in the orbital forging process, forming is done to the meat part by using a cone-shaped

compressed at the stage of forming.

258. When an asymmetrical section is roll formed, the finished product will have

A. camber
B. cross-bow
C. a twist
D. waviness
Answer: C
Explanation:- when an asymmetrical section is a roll formed, the finished product will have a twist
after leaving the last pass, even if the starting material is flat.

259. Which of the following is true about the extrusion process?

A. structure is homogeneous
B. no time is lost in changing the shape
C. service life of extrusion tool is too high
D. its leading end is in good shape as compared to rolling

262. Which of the following is not a cold extrusion process?

A. cold extrusion forging
B. impact extrusion
C. hydrostatic extrusion
D. cold rolling
Answer: C
Explanation:- cold extrusion is done at room temperature or near room temeprature. the processes,
impact extrusion, hydrostatic extrusion and cold extrusion forging are the types of cold forging. the
advantages of this over hot extrusion are the lack of oxidation, higher strength due to cold working,
closer tolerances, and good surface finish.

263. The centre of the extruded product can develop cracks called as?
A. centre cracking
B. centre burst
C. arrow headed fracture
D. all of the mentioned
Answer: D
Explanation:- cracks that are developed in the centre of extruded material is known as internal
cracking. these are termed as “centre cracking”, “centre burst”, “chevron cracking”, and as “arrow
head cracking”.

264. Which of the following processes of metal forming is best suited for making
products like aircraft wings and window frames?
A. forging
B. rolling
C. drawing
D. stretch forming
Answer: D
Explanation:- stretch forming is a sheet metal forming process in which the sheet metal is clamped
at the edges and stretched by using the dies or form blocks. and no any lubrication is required
significantly during the process. this method is best suited for making the products like aircraft

wings, window frames, automobile door panels etc.

265. Stretch forming is a process which involves tensile and bending forces during
the operation.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- in stretch forming process, stretching of a metal sheet is basically done by holding its
edges and bending it on a cylindrical block, simultaneously is known as stretch forming. this process
basically involves tensile and bending forces during the operation. in this process, the materials with
high ductility are mostly stretched by rigid dies.

266. Forming is a process that changes the shape of the metal by changing its
phase.
A. true
B. false
Answer: B
Explanation:- forming is basically a term that covers many manufacturing processes. in the metal
forming process, the shape of the material or metal is changed by performing an operation like
hammering, squeezing, bending, pulling etc. without changing its phase. the raw materials used in
the forming process remained in a single solid phase.

267. Rolling is a forming process in which thickness of the metal plate is decreased
by increasing its length.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- rolling is a metal forming process in which the metal plate is squeezed between the
two hard rollers. in the operation, the thickness is decreased and the length is increased as the
volume of the metal is conserved. this method is mainly used for the production of thin metal plates
which can be done by performing hot rolling or cold rolling, depending on the required mechanical
properties.

268. In stretch forming, spring-back is a very complicated problem which causes

trouble in operating machines during the process.
A. true
B. false

Answer: B
Explanation:- spring-back is basically defined as a phenomenon in which the material tries to regain
its original shape during elastic loading condition. but in stretch forming process, the stretching and
bending operations take place simultaneously which causes permanent deformation of the sheet
metal. so, this combined effect results in negligible spring-back in the metal part and hence causes
no problem in the operating machines.

270. High volume rate of production can be possible by stretch sheet metal forming
process.
A. true
B. false
Answer: B
Explanation:- in stretch forming, the sheet metal is fixed with stretch gripper with the support of a
tool, and then operation takes place in a hydraulic stretching unit. the process consumes too much
time as the stretching process takes time to strain hardens the material. so, this process includes
low volume rate of production, but the process is very versatile and have economic production.

271. Tangential stretch forming and simple stretch forming are quite similar to
each other.
A. true
B. false
Answer: B
Explanation:- tangential stretch forming is very different from simple stretch forming. however, the
purpose is same. in tangential stretch forming, the metal sheet is gripped from two opposite ends.
the main difference to the simple stretch forming is that the form block and gripping jaws both are

272. In electromagnetic forming, highly intense magnetic field is used for the
forming process.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- in electromagnetic forming, many components like capacitor bank, forming coil, field
shaper, conductive material etc. are used to create intense magnetic fields. this magnetic is
generally produced by the discharge of capacitors into a coil, which lasts only for a few
microseconds. then further processing is done to perform the metal forming.

273. The magnetic field interacts with metal to generate heat in the metal which
causes forming process.
A. true
B. false
Answer: B
Explanation:- in the electromagnetic forming process, eddy currents are induced in a conductive
material that is placed near to the coil. then it interacts with a magnetic field to cause mutual
repulsion between the metal and the forming coil. this force of repulsion is mainly responsible for
inducing stresses in the metal beyond its yield strength which results in plastic deformation of metal.

274. Electromagnetic forming cannot be used for materials of poor electrical

conductivity.
A. true
B. false
Answer: B
Explanation:- the electromagnetic forming method uses a high intense magnetic field to deform the
material. this process is primarily used for the forming of good conducting materials like copper,
aluminum, silver etc.

275. The efficiency of electromagnetic forming mainly depends on the resistivity of

material being formed.
