This set of Advanced Machining Processes Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “EDM-Mechanism of Material Removal – 2”.

1. After the explosion is over, how is the debris carried away?
a) Evaporation
b) Fresh dielectric
c) Old dielectric
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Debris is carried away by the fresh dielectric that rushes in.

2. The layer formed when unexpelled molten metal solidifies is known as _______________
a) Reabsorbed layer
b) Recast layer
c) Unevaporated layer
d) Condensed layer
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Unexpelled molten metal solidifies to form a layer known as recast layer.

4. What happens when the electron current predominates in the discharge?
a) More anodic removal
b) More cathodic removal
c) Remains same
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When electron current predominates the electrical discharge, anodic material removal is greater than cathodic material.

8. State whether the following statement is true or false regarding EDM.
“In Electro discharge machining, electric pulses generated affect the material removal.”
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In Electro discharge machining, electric pulses generated have an impact on the material removal.

9. Open gap voltages contribute to how much amount of material removal?
a) 20 %
b) 50 %
c) 70 %
d) No contribution
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Open gap voltage that occur at too large distances do not contribute to any material removal.

10. When the electrode gap is too small or electrodes are in contact, how much material is removed?
a) 10%
b) 20%
c) 30%
d) No material removed
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: When electrodes come in contact with one another, short circuits occur and material removed is not possible.

11. Which components mentioned below are affected due to arcs?
a) Work piece
b) Tool
c) Work piece & Tool
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Arcs are believed to occur at same spots on electrode surfaces which damage both tool and work piece.

12. Which of the following pulses contribute to the desired material removal in EDM?
a) Open circuit pulses
b) Short circuits
c) Arcs
d) Sparks
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The sparks are the one which contributes to the desired material removal in Electro discharge machining.
