Forming Questions and Answers – Metal Forming

Processes
This set of Casting, Forming and Welding Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on
“Metal Forming Processes”.

1. Forming is a process that changes the shape of the metal by changing its phase.
a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Forming is basically a term that covers many manufacturing processes. In the meta
forming process, the shape of the material or metal is changed by performing an operation like
hammering, squeezing, bending, pulling etc. without changing its phase. The raw materials used in
the forming process remained in a single solid phase.

2. Which of the following components is mainly manufactured by performing metal forging?


a) Piston
b) Engine block
c) Connecting rod
d) Crankcase

View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Connecting rod is mainly manufactured by forging operation which is specifically known
as hot forging process, while parts like piston, crankcase and engine blocks are manufactured by a
casting process. In the forging process, a hammer is used which strikes on the heated metallic part to
get into the desired shape.

3. The metal forging operation can only be performed by manual means.


a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Metal forging is a forming operation which usually performs hammering process to
shape the metal part. In the forging process, the metal part is heated sufficiently, and then it is
hammered by using a hammer which can be performed by manual means or by automation
depending on the scale of production.

4. Which of the following metal forming processes performs squeezing out of material through a hole?
a) Forging
b) Rolling
c) Drawing
d) Extrusion

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Extrusion process is a type of metal forming process, in which the material is forced o
squeezed out through a hole called die. This process is very similar to squeezing out the toothpaste
from the tube. This process is mainly used for metals that are ductile in nature like copper, stee
aluminum and magnesium; this process is also used for polymers.

5. Metal forming is a process in which the metal is deformed plastically to get into the desired shape.
a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In general, the metal forming is a large set of manufacturing processes in which the
metal is deformed plastically to get into the shape of the die geometry. The tools like dies and
punches are mostly used in the processes for the deformation of the material. For the plastic
deformation, Stresses beyond the yield strength of the material is required.
