Manufacturing Engineering Questions & Answers – Cutting Tool Material-1

This set of Manufacturing Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Cutting Tool Material-1”.

1. If a percentage of cobalt in Tungsten carbide tool increases, then toughness of tool will
a) Increase
b) Decrease
c) Remains Constant
d) First increase then decrease
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: With an increase in percentage of cobalt toughness increases. Carbides are very hard and have very good red hot hardness property and hence most suitable for machining of hard and brittle material.

2. Which of the following tools is most suitable for very hard and brittle material?
a) HSS
b) Cast-cobalt alloy
c) Carbides
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Carbides are very hard and have very good red hot hardness property and hence most suitable for machining of hard and brittle material.

3. High speed steels are most suitable for
a) High Positive rake angle tools
b) High Negative rake angle tools
c) Zero Rake angle tools
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: HSS are very tough and fracture resistance and suitable for high positive rake angle tool. With an increase in percentage of cobalt toughness increases.

4. Which of the following tool material will offer lower friction and higher resistance to cracks and wear?
a) HSS
b) TiC
c) WC
d) TiCN
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: TiCN is a coated tool and hence offer very less friction and there is much low chance of wear in tool due to coating on tool.
