Which are types of casting metal you need to know about?

• Sand, die, investment, and low temperature

• High pressure, cooling, and lime

• Investment, die and welding

• High temperature, injection moulding and wax casting

What is the process of shaping metal by using force called?

• Forging and drop forging

• Melting and cooling

• Painting and coating

• Cutting and slicing

What is press forming used for?

• Shaping sheet metal into 3D forms

• Melting metals into liquid form

• Painting metal surfaces

• Cutting metal into small pieces

Why is press forming common in mass production?

• Due to the cost of producing the dies

• Because it requires no machinery

• Because it uses only recycled materials

• Due to its colorful finishes

What are dies made from in press forming?

• Hardened steel

• Plastic

• Wood

• Glass

Which objects are typically made using the spinning process?

• Kettles and saucepans

• Cars and airplanes

• Books and pencils

• Shoes and hats

How can spun products be identified?

• By their shiny surface

• By parallel lines on the surface

• By their color

• By their weight

Which objects are commonly made using cupping and deep drawing?

• Books and magazines

• Fire extinguishers and aerosol cans

• Wooden chairs and tables

• Plastic bottles and bags

What happens during deep drawing?

• The metal is melted

• The depth of pressing exceeds the diameter

• The metal is painted

• The metal is cut into squares

Why are the corners of the punch rounded in deep drawing?

• To make the metal shiny

• To ensure the metal stretches instead of shearing

• To make the process faster

• To reduce the weight of the metal
