MCQs on Tool Wear and Failure
1 - Question
Thermal cracking of tools occurs at
a) Low temperature
b) High temperature
c) Low cutting speed
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: At high temperature tool may lose its hardness property which results in failure of tool and this phenomenon is known as thermal cracking.
2 - Question
Mechanical chipping may occur in which of the following tool?
a) Diamond tool
b) Mild Steel tool
c) HSS tool
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Mechanical chipping occurs in brittle tools. Here diamond is a brittle material.
3 - Question
With the passage of time, there is loss in weight of tool, this phenomenon is known as:
a) Thermal cracking
b) Mechanical chipping
c) Softening
d) Gradual Wear
View Answer
Explanation: Loss of weight of tool with respect to time is known as gradual wear. advertisement
4 - Question
Crater wear occurs at
a) Tool flank
b) Tool shank
c) Tool face
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Tool face is weaker for crater wear than shank or flank.
5 - Question
Which of the following is correct about crater wear?
a) Occurs more in soft tool
b) Occurs more hard tool
c) Occurs more in brittle tool
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Crater wear occurs in soft tools because their face gets eroded easily during flow of chips over the face.
6 - Question
Flank wear occurs at
a) Tool flank below cutting edge
b) Tool shank
c) Tool face
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Tool flank are generally subjected to flank wear due to rubbing action of tool. Cutting edge may be side cutting edge or end cutting edge.
