4. Nickel can be machined with 100% current efficiency, when current density value is ______________
a) 10 A/cm2
b) 25 A/cm2
c) 45 A/cm2
d) 80 A/cm2
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Nickel is a metal suggested by Khayry, which can be machined at 100% current efficiency, if current density is 25 A/cm2.

5. When the electrolyte flow is low, what happens to the current efficiency?
a) Increases
b) Decreases
c) Remains same
d) Increase and then decrease
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In ECM, if the electrolyte flow is low, current efficiency is reduced due to the accumulation of machining products within the gap.

a) 10 – 20 %
b) 20 – 30 %
c) 30 – 50 %
d) 50 – 80 %
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: While machining Ti using NaCl electrolyte, current efficiencies of 10 – 20 percent are obtained.

7. State whether the following statement is true or false about electrolyte in ECM.
“Machinability in ECM is enhanced, when electrolyte is heated.”
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Machinability is increased, when electrolyte is heated, as heating increases the specific conductivity of the electrolyte.
