Manufacturing Engineering Multiple Choice Questions on “Electrochemical Machining”.
1. Which of the following is un-conventional machining process?
a) Grinding
b) Milling
c) Turning
d) Electro chemical machining
Answer: d
Clarification: Electro chemical machining is an un-conventional machining process used for large material removal from the surface using electricity generated due to chemical reactions.
2. Which of the following is conventional machining process?
a) Electro chemical machining
b) Milling
c) Electron discharge machining
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: b
Clarification: Milling is a conventional machining process used for material removal from the surface.
3. In ECM, heavy electrical sparks are created.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: Sparks are generated in EDM, by using high voltage current, for proper erosion of material.
4. In ECM, tool does not touch the work piece.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Tool is very near to work piece but does not touch it in ECM.
5. Which of the following is correct about ECM?
a) Erosion of metal takes place as a reverse process of electroplating
b) Thermal stresses are induced
c) Mechanical stresses are induced
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: a
Clarification: In ECM, erosion of metal takes place as reverse process of electroplating.
6. Which of the following material cannot be machined using electro chemical machining?
a) Iron
b) Aluminum
c) Copper
d) Wood
Answer: d
Clarification: Wood is a bad conductor of electricity and hence cannot be machined using electro chemical machining.
7. Which of the following material can be machined using electro chemical machining?
