 (c) better surface quality (d) b and c

2 Very briefly describe the four types of Bulk Forming Processes. 20%
Make use of labeled diagrams

(1) Rolling:

Deformation process in which work thickness

is reduced by compressive forces exerted by two opposing rolls

(2) Forging:

Deformation process in which work is

compressed between two dies

(3) Extrusion:

Compression forming process in

which work metal is forced to flow through a die opening to produce a
desired cross-sectional shape

 (4) Wire/Bar Drawing:

Compression forming process in which work

metal is forced to flow through a die opening to produce a desired
cross-sectional shape

3 Completely describe the working of hot-chamber die casting 20%

process

Metal is melted in a container, and a piston injects liquid metal under high
pressure into the die. Applications are limited to low melting point metals that
do not chemically attack plunger and other mechanical components

(1) with die closed and plunger withdrawn,

molten metal flows into the chamber

(2) plunger forces metal in chamber to flow into die,

maintaining pressure during cooling and solidification

4 With the help of stress-strain curve of a ductile material, define 20%

 following properties: Proportionality Limit; Elastic Limit; Yield
Strength; Ultimate Strength; and Ductility.

Proportionality Limit -> Maximum stress up to which the relationship between

stress & strain is linear

Elastic Limit -> Maximum amount of stress up to which the deformation is

absolutely temporary

Yield Strength -> the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically

Ultimate Strength -> It is the maxima of the stress-strain curve. It is the point at
which necking will start

Ductility -> The amount of strain a material can endure before failure
