1) What metals contained in brass alloy?
Correct Answer: Copper and zinc
2) Which cast iron cannot be welded?
Correct Answer: White cast iron
Explanation:

Austenitic grades of stainless steels tend to be the most weldable, but they are especially susceptible to distortion due to their high coefficient of thermal expansion. Some alloys of this type are prone to cracking and reduced corrosion resistance as well. Hot cracking is possible if the amount of ferrite in the weld is not controlled—to alleviate the problem, an electrode is used that deposits a weld metal containing a small amount of ferrite. Other types of stainless steels, such as ferritic and martensitic stainless steels, are not as easily welded, and must often be preheated and welded with special electrodes.

3) Which metal cannot be forged?
Correct Answer: Cast iron
4) Which metal is widely used for making casting of machinery parts?
Correct Answer: Grey cast iron
5) Which furnace is used to get pig iron from iron ore?
Correct Answer: Blast furnace
