There are 27 correct answers in the following multiple choice questions (some questions have multiple answers that are correct). To attain a perfect score on the quiz, all correct answers must be given. Each correct answer is worth 1 point. Each omitted answer or wrong answer reduces the score by 1 point, and each additional answer beyond the correct number of answers reduces the score by 1 point. Percentage score on the quiz is based on the total number of correct answers 19.1 The starting workpiece in steel hot rolling of plate and sheet stock is which of the following (one best answer): (a) bar stock, (b) billet, (c) bloom, (d) slab, or (e) wire stock? 19.2 The maximum possible draft in a rolling operation depends on which of the following parameters (two correct answers): (a) coefficient of friction between roll and work, (b) roll diameter, (c) roll velocity, (d) stock thickness, (e) strain, and (f) strength coefficient of the work metal? 19.3 Which of the following stress or strength parameters is used in the computation of rolling force (one best answer): (a) average flow stress, (b) compression strength, (c) final flow stress, (d) tensile strength, or (e) yield strength? 19.4 Which of the following rolling mill types are associated with relatively small diameter rolls in contact with the work (two correct answers): (a) cluster mill, (b) continuous rolling mill, (c) four-high mill, (d) reversing mill, and (e) three-high configuration? 19.5 Production of pipes and tubes is associated with which of the following bulk deformation processes (three correct answers): (a) extrusion, (b) hobbing, (c) ring rolling, (d) roll forging, (e) roll piercing, (f) tube sinking, and (g) upsetting? 19.6 Which of the following stress or strength parameters is used in the computation of the maximum force in a forging operation (one best answer): (a) average flow stress, (b) compression strength, (c) final flow stress, (d) tensile strength, or (e) yield strength? 19.7 Which of the following operations are closely related to open-die forging (three best answers): (a) cogging, (b) flashless forging, (c) fullering, (d) impression-die forging, (e) Mannesmann process, (f) precision forging, (g) soaking, and (h) upsetting? 19.8 Flash in impression die forging serves no useful purpose and is undesirable because it must be trimmed from the part after forming: (a) true or (b) false? 19.9 Which of the following are classified as forging operations (four correct answers): (a) coining, (b) fullering, (c) impact extrusion, (d) roll piercing, (e) swaging, (f) thread rolling, (g) trimming, and (h) upsetting? 19.10 Which of the following are alternative names for indirect extrusion (two correct answers): (a) backward extrusion, (b) direct extrusion, (c) forward extrusion, (d) impact extrusion, and (e) reverse extrusion? 19.11 The production of tubing is possible in indirect extrusion but not in direct extrusion: (a) true or (b) false? 19.12 Which of the following stress or strength parameters is used in the computation of the force in an extrusion operation (one best answer): (a) average flow stress, (b) compression strength, (c) final flow stress, (d) tensile strength, or (e) yield strength? 19.13 In which of the following extrusion operations is friction a factor in determining the extrusion force (one best answer): (a) direct extrusion or (b) indirect extrusion? 19.14 Theoretically, the maximum reduction possible in a wire drawing operation, under the assumptions of a perfectly plastic metal, no friction, and no redundant work, is which of the following (one answer): (a) zero, (b) 0.63, (c) 1.0, or (d) 2.72? 19.15 Which of the following bulk deformation processes are involved in the production of nails for lumber construction (three best answers): (a) bar and wire drawing, (b) extrusion, (c) flashless forging, (d) impression die forging, (e) rolling, and (f) upsetting? 19.16 Johnson's formula is associated with which one of the four bulk deformation processes: (a) bar and wire drawing, (b) extrusion, (c) forging, and (d) rolling?

A bending operation is to be performed on 4.0 mm thick cold-rolled steel sheet that is 25 mm wide and 100 mm long. The sheet is bent along the 25 mm direction, so that the bend is 25 mm long. The resulting sheet metal part has an acute angle of 30° and a bend radius of 6 mm. Determine (a) the bend allowance and (b) the length of the neutral axis of the part after the bend. (Hint: the length of the neutral axis before the bend = 100.0 mm).
