Manufacturing Engineering Questions & Answers – Laser Beam Machining

This set of Manufacturing Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Laser Beam Machining”.

1. LASER stands for
a) Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
b) Light amplification by stimulated erosion of reaction
c) Light amplification by stimulated erosion of radiation
d) Light amplification by stimulated emission of reaction
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: LASER stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. LASER have a high amount of energy, which can be used to generate heat.

2. Ruby laser is most efficient when
a) Kept cold
b) Kept hot
c) Kept at normal temperature
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Ruby laser is most efficient when it is kept cold. Ruby laser is used to produce a LASER. It generally uses chromium ions to produce LASER.

3. Time of machining in the laser beam machining process increases with
a) Decrease in power supply
b) Decrease in laser beam spot diameter
c) Increase in cutting speed
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Time of machining in the laser beam machining process is directly proportional to laser beam spot diameter. Larger the diameter, larger will be the HAZ.
