  1. In TIG welding, thoriated tungsten electrodes are used, because it

  2. A.
    has higher current carraying capacity.
    B.
    has better electron emissivity.
    C.
    is stronger than ordinary tungsten.
    D.
    is easy to prepare.

  3. Vernier calipers can not be used to measure the

  4. A.
    I.D. & O.D. of the shaft.
    B.
    thickness of parts.
    C.
    depth of holes.
    D.
    clearance between two mating surfaces.

  5. Which of the following is not the commercial name of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) ?

  6. A.
    Styrofoam
    B.
    Lucite
    C.
    Perspex
    D.
    Plexiglass

  7. On being hit with a hammer, __________ will readily fracture.

  8. A.
    brass
    B.
    mild steel
    C.
    cast iron
    D.
    lead

  9. Which of the following does not discharge the dust collected as a dry solid ?

  10. A.
    Electrostatic precipitator
    B.
    Wet scrubber
    C.
    Bag filter
    D.
    Gravity settling chamber

  11. Wood is a/an __________ material.

  12. A.
    amorphous
    B.
    cellular
    C.
    homogeneous
    D.
    grannular

  13. Pick out the wrong statement.

  14. A.
    Both annealing and normalising release the internal stresses of the material besides improving the mechanical properties.
    B.
    Low carbon steel does not respond to the heat treatment for hardening of the material, hence it is subjected to case hardening or surface hardening processes like cyniding, carburising, nitriding etc., which produces high carbon outer layers resulting in increase of surface hardness.
    C.
    Induction hardening and flame hardening techniques are also used for surface hardening.
    D.
    Martempering of a material is a hardening process.

  15. Use of flux during soldering is done to

  16. A.
    increase flidity of solder by lowering its melting temperature.
    B.
    prevent oxide formation.
    C.
    wash away surplus solder.
    D.
    full up the joint gap.

  17. The most important consideration in value engineering is the

  18. A.
    profit maximisation.
    B.
    customer satisfaction.
    C.
    cost reduction.
    D.
    process improvement.

  19. Resilience of a bolt can be increased by increasing its

  20. A.
    length
    B.
    shank diameter
    C.
    head diameter
    D.
    none of these
