3. Which of the following is a ferrous foundry?
a) Brass foundry
b) Bronze foundry
c) High alloy steel foundry
d) Zinc-base foundry
View Answer
Explanation: Among the following, a high alloy steel foundry is a type of steel foundry and steel foundries come under ferrous foundries, while the remaining ones are non-ferrous foundries.
4. Which of the following is not a metal joining process?
a) Riveting
b) Bending
c) Pressing
d) Brazing
View Answer
Explanation: Riveting, brazing, pressing, soldering, adhesive bonding and bolt-screw fastening are few of the techniques of metal joining process. But, bending is not one of them, it is a shaping process.

a) 65%
b) 75%
c) 80%
d) 90%
View Answer
Explanation: Casting is one of the most all round process used in manufacturing. Up to 90% of the automobile engine parts are manufactured using casting, and around 50% of the total weight of the tractor is manufactured using casting.
6. Which of the following is not a metal removing process?
a) Grinding
b) Milling
c) Swaging
d) Hobbing
View Answer
Explanation: Grinding, milling, hobbing, planning, reaming, shaping, boring, turning and broaching are a few of the techniques of metal removing process. But, swaging is not a part of them, it is a type of metal shaping process.
7. Which of the following is a metal shaping process?
a) Press forging
b) Broaching
c) Riveting
d) Lapping
View Answer
Explanation: Among the following, broaching is a metal machining process or a metal removal process, riveting is a metal joining process, lapping is a surface finishing process and press forging is a shaping process.
8. Casting provides uniform directional properties.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Casting provides a great amount of freedom in terms of design. It helps in providing uniform directional properties and good vibrational properties.
9. Which of the following is not a surface finishing process?
a) Honing
b) Grinding
c) Boring
d) Lapping
View Answer
Explanation: Honing, grinding, anodizing, lapping, polishing and metal spraying are a few of the surface finishing techniques. But, boring is not one of them, it is a technique that is used for metal removal process.
10. Products made through casting can avoid joining process.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Products which are made from casting processes, possess an advantage of being formed into one single piece. When the production is done in one piece, it eliminates the requirement of any joining process.
