Tutorial 4
1. What is the effect of section thickness on forging load if friction is zero. Give reasons.
2. Why is steel hot worked in the intercritical region?
3. In hot extrusion pressure increases at low as well as high ram speeds. Why?
4. Why porthole die is used for Al and Mg tubes?
5. In rolling, several stands are used instead of rolling in only one pass. Why?
6. Due to heat loss temperature falls. How does it affect muti-pass rolling.
7.
8. What are the common defects observed in extrusion?
9. How is grain growth minimized in multi-pass rolling?
10. Is strain hardening similar to residual stresses?
11. Distinguish between recovery and recrystallization.
12. Is recrystallization temperature a fixed temperature for an alloy? Explain.
13. Can both recovery and recrystallization occur or are they mutually exclusive?
14. Why is recrystallization compared to a phase transformation?
15. How does recovery occur in a deformed alloy? Is there a change in microstructure?
16. Distinguish between reduction ratio in rolling and extrusion. Do they represent similar
parameters? Why they can not be used for forging?
17. Classify the different category of cracks observed in metal working.
