Engineering Materials
1. ‘Killed steels’ are those steels
- which are destroyed by burning
- which after their destruction are recycled to produce fresh steel
- which are deoxidised in the ladle with silicon and aluminium
- in which carbon is completely burnt
- which have poor properties due to improper manufacturing.
Correct answer: (C)
which are deoxidised in the ladle with silicon and aluminium
2. A cold chisel is made of
- mild steel
- cast iron
- H.S.S.
