This set of Testing of Materials Questions & Answers for Exams focuses on “Dynamic Hardness Testing”.
1. Which of the following is a dynamic hardness test?
a) Brinell
b) Poldi
c) Knoop
d) Vickers
View Answer
Explanation: Poldi is a dynamic hardness test. Hammer blow is used. Brinell, knop and Vickers are static hardness test.
2. What is the standard height of impact for shore test?
a) 125 mm
b) 250 mm
c) 500 mm
d) 750 mm
View Answer
Explanation: A small pointed indenter is used in shore test. This is made to fall inside a glass tube. Standard height is 250 mm.
3. What is a weight of hammer in shore test?
a) 2.0 gm
b) 2.3 gm
c) 2.4 gm
d) 3.0 gm
View Answer
Explanation: The hammer is a small pointed indenter. It is tapered at one end and a cylindrical metal plug. It weighs 2.4 gm.
4. As the height of rebound enhances the material’s hardness ___________
a) Increases
b) Decreases
c) First Increases and then decreases
d) Remains constant
View Answer
Explanation: As the height of rebound increase, the material becomes harder. The size of the indentation decreases. It is because of less kinetic energy loss.
5. Specimen less than 1 kg must be clamped because of ________
a) Elastic recovery
b) Penetration
c) Inertial effect
d) Personal error
View Answer
Explanation: A specimen less than 1 kg must be clamped. It should have massive support. It is due to avoid inertia effect.
6. What is a disadvantage of shore test?
a) Very slow
b) Deep indentation
c) Clamping problem
d) Heavy machinery
View Answer
Explanation: If a specimen is less than 1 kg, it should be clamped. Shore test gives very shallow indentations. It is a fast test.
7. Which test should be preferred for finished lathe machine bed?
a) Brinell
b) Poldi
c) Shore
d) Rockwell
View Answer
Explanation: Finished components shouldn’t have scratch or indentation on it. Shore test is preferred for it. It is due to very shallow indentations.
8. What is the height of Poldi apparatus?
a) 10 mm
b) 100 mm
c) 150 mm
d) 250 mm
View Answer
Explanation: Poldi apparatus is just 150 mm in height. Its ball indenter is 10 mm in diameter. It is portable.
9. What is the disadvantage of Poldi hardness test?
a) Expensive
b) Not portable
c) Not accurate
d) Can’t perform on heavy machinery
View Answer
Explanation: When the apparatus is not held perpendicular to the surface, it gives an error in the result. It is easily portable. It is cheap and can be performed on heavy machinery.
10. Poldi hardness test gives a value of ________ also along with dynamic hardness.
a) Yield strength
b) Tensile strength
c) Toughness
d) Young’s modulus
View Answer
Explanation: Poldi hardness test gives dynamic hardness. Values of tensile strength are also given in the table. These two have a linear relationship.
11. Tensile strength is given in tonnes per square inch in Poldi test.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The hardness is related to tensile strength. It can be seen in the tables. UTS is given in tonnes per square inch.
12. Hardness of heavy components can’t be measured by Poldi test.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The Poldi tester is portable. Hence hardness of heavy components can be measured.
