    B.
    induce softness and removes stresses & dissolved gases.
    C.
    refine the crystalline structure & produce a definite microstructure.

  10. A.
    is cheap.
    B.
    imparts solid solution strengthening.
    C.
    lowers density and contributes to age hardening.
    D.
    improves the corrosion resistance of aluminium.

  11. Which of the following represents the correct time-temperature curve when a block of metal is heated above room temperature & then left to cool in the room following Newton's law of cooling in which the rate of temperature drop will go on decreasing with the passage of time.
