Subject: Heat Treatment of Steel Objective Questions Choose the correct option. 1.

During transformation of austenite to upper bainite, the diffusion of carbon i) Take place from supersaturated ferrite to austenite ii) Take place from austenite to supersaturated ferrite iii) Depends on transformation time iv) Doesnt take place, as bainite formation is diffusionless process 2. The austenitising temperature for normalizing of hypoeutectoid steel is i) Higher than annealing iii) lower than annealing ii) Equal to annealing iv) Very-very higher than annealing 3. The carbon in the BCT unit cell of martensite sits at the i) Tetrahedral sites iii) Octahedral sites ii) Center of each face of BCT iv) Center of the unit cell 4. When 0.1 %C steel, quenched rapidly from A3 temperature, the resultant phase consists the crystal structure of i) Only BCT iii) BCT and Pearlite phase ii) BCC and Pearlite phase iv) BCT and BCC 5. If eutectoid steel is heated to temperature just above its Ms Temperature and then quenched rapidly, then the resultant phase i) Martesite iii) Pearlite + Martensite ii) Pearlite iv) Pearlite + Ferrite + Martensite 6. The active nuclei for austenite to bainite transformation is i) Ferrite iii) Cementite ii) Pearlite iv) Carbides 7. In compare to the growth rate of matensite formation, the growth rate of bainite transformation is i) Slow iii) Very-very slow ii) Fast iv) Very-very fast

8. When same hypoeutectoid steel is heat treated by annealing and normalizing process, the amount of pearlite in annealed steels in compare to normalized steels is i) More iii) Less ii) Equal iv) Depend on temperature 9. According to Hull-Mehl Model, the active nuclei for austenite to pearlite transformation is i) Ferrite iii) Cementite ii) Pearlite iv) Alloys carbides 10. After normalizing, the carbon content of pearlite is .than 0.77% in hypoeutectoid steels and .. in hypereutectoid steels i) more, more iii) more, less ii) less, less iv) less, more 11. Which of following composition of phases have highest hardness i) Fully Martensite iii) Martensite and Cementite ii) Martensite and Pearlite iv) Pearlite and Cementite 12.
