1.

The permanent mode of


deformation of a material known
as _________
a) Elasticity
b) Plasticity
c) Slip deformation
d) Twinning deformation
 Answer: b
Explanation: Plasticity is defined as the property of a
material due to which it is permanently deformed due
to loading. Elasticity is the temporary form of
deformation. Twinning and Slip are mechanisms of
Plastic deformation.
2. The ability of materials to
develop a characteristic behavior
under

repeated loading known as _
a) Toughness
b) Resilience
c) Hardness
d) Fatigue
 Answer: d
Explanation: Toughness is the ability of a material to
absorb energy during deformation, while resilience is
its capacity to absorb the energy. Hardness is the
knack of a material to defy indentation. The ability of a
material to develop a characteristic behavior under
repeated loading is known as fatigue.
3. Which of the following factor
does not affect the mechanical
properties of a material under
applied loads?

a) Content of alloys
b) Grain size
c) Imperfection and defects
d) Shape of material
 Answer: d
Explanation: Contents of alloys improve or decrease
the hardness and strength of materials. Finer grain
sizes improve the strength of the material.
Imperfection and defects reduce the strength of the
material. Shape, however, has little or no effect on the
material.
4. The ability of a material to resist
plastic

deformation known as____
a) Tensile strength
b) Yield strength
c) Modulus of elasticity
d) Impact strength
 Answer: b
Explanation: The point of stretching where it increases
suddenly is known as yield strength, i.e. the region
where the stretch is elastic. Tensile strength is the
force needed to fracture the material. Impact strength
is the capacity of a material to resist shock energy
before a fracture.
5. Deformation that occurs due to
stress over a period of time is
known as ____________

a) Wear resistance
b) Fatigue
c) Creep
d) Fracture
 Answer: c
Explanation: Creep is the time-dependent
deformation of the material under stress. Wear
resistance, fatigue, and fracture deal with deformation
under stress without a time factor, i.e. they are time-
independent.
6. The melting point of Iron (Fe) is
__
 a) 660oC
b) 1084oC
c) 419oC
d) 1538oC
 Answer: d
Explanation: The melting point of Iron is 1538oC,
whereas the melting points of aluminum (Al), zinc
(Zn), and copper (Cu) are 660oC, 419oC, and 1084oC in
that order.
7. The ability of a body to
withstand sudden and severe
temperature changes is known as_

a) Thermal shock resistance
b) Thermal resistance
c) Thermal transmittance
d) Deployment
 Answer: a
Explanation: Thermal shock resistance is the ability of
a body to withstand sudden and severe temperature
changes. Thermal resistance is a property by which a
material resists a heat flow. Thermal transmittance is
the rate of transfer of heat through one square meter,
divided by the difference in temperature. The thermal
admittance is known as the knack of a material to
transmit heat when there is temperature variation on
its opposite sides.
8.The temperature at which
plastics begin to become softer
and defer under a load is known as

a) Softening point
b) Melting point
c) Eutectic point
d) Heat distortion point
 Answer: d
Explanation: Heat distortion point is the temperature
at which plastics begin to become softer and defer
under a load. The softening point is the temperature at
which a flat-ended needle of 1 mm2 penetrates the test
same at 1 mm2 depth. Eutectic point the temperature
at which a mixture freezes or melts. The melting point
is the temperature at which the state of the body
changes from solid to liquid.
9. Which property helps a material
to absorb lubricants?

a) Density
b) Porosity
c) Soldering
d) Absorptivity
 Answer: b
Explanation: Porosity is that property of a material
which helps it to absorb lubricants, while density is the
measure of the weight of unit volume. The
solderability is the ease with which a soldered joint can
be prepared. Absorptivity is an optical property of
materials.
