Chromium in steel_________________?
A. Improves wear resistance, cutting ability and toughness
B. Refines grain size and produces less tendency to carburisation, improves corrosion and heat resistant properties
C. Improves cutting ability and reduces hardenability
D. Gives ductility, toughness, tensile strength and anticorrosion properties
Which is false statement about tempering. Tempering is done to_______________?
A. Improve machinability
B. Improve ductility
C. Improve toughness
D. Release stresses
Vanadium in high speed steels__________________?
A. Promotes decarburisation
B. Provides high hot hardness
C. Forms very hard carbides and thus in-creases wear resistance
D. Promotes retention of austenite
