Quiz 1 – Introduction to Metals and Alloys

1. What do metals conduct well?


A. Energy B. Electricity C. Momentum D. Wave

2. What do you measure of a metal when you dent it?


A. Strength B. Hardness C. Ductility D. Elasticity

3. A brittle material is one that:


A. will bend B. fractures under pressure C. can be crushed easily

4. The most common element added to iron to create steel alloy is:
A. Tungsten B. vanadium C. chromium D. carbon

5. Varying the amounts of additives added to iron changes the properties of the steel alloy
created. The material properties which can be affected are all of the followings EXCEPT:
A. Opacity B. hardness C. strength D. ductility

6. Rusting is the corrosion of:


A. copper B. iron C. zinc D. nickel

7. Why are metals alloyed?


A. To improve the appearance of a metal
B. To reduce the amount of iron used
C. To change the properties of the metal
D. To make them less likely to corrode

8. Why are alloyed metals usually stronger?


A. They have atoms of different metals in them, which makes it easier for the layer to move
past each other...less likely to break
B. They have atoms of different metals in them, which makes it harder for the layer to move
past each other...less likely to break
C. Alloyed metals become non-crystalline which gives them the strength.
D. None of the above

9. Why is steel alloyed with other metals?


A. To make It stronger
B. To make it lighter
C. To make it more resistant to corrosion
D. All of the above
