  4. A.
    25
    B.
    50
    C.
    70
    D.

  5. The most important material handling system in an integrated steel plant is the

  6. A.
    belt conveyor
    B.
    diesel locomotive
    C.
    truck
    D.
    overhead hoists & cranes

  7. Property of a material to resist a tensile force without giving away is a measure of its

  8. A.
    stiffness
    B.
    toughness
    C.
    resilience
    D.
    tenacity

  9. Cast iron has the unique property of high

  10. A.
    ductility
    B.
    damping characteristics
    C.
    hardness
    D.
    malleability

  11. Steels with high carbon equivalent have poor weldability, because in these steels during welding

  12. A.
    carbon and other alloying elements get oxidised from the weld pool.
    B.
    excessive ferrite forms in the heat affected zone leading to poor toughness of the weld.
    C.
    martensite forms in the heat affected zone leading to poor toughness/ductility of the weld.
    D.
    segregation of carbon and other element occurs in the weld pool leading to poor properties of the weld.
