Question

Match the component with the corresponding manufacturing process in the table below. 

• A. P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4
• B. P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
• C. P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1
• D. P-1, Q-3, R-2, S-4

Hint:

For components such as pistons and tool inserts, sand casting and powder metallurgy are commonly used. For plastic bottles, blow molding is the ideal process.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

We are tasked with matching each component with its corresponding manufacturing process. Step 1: Component P (Aluminum alloy piston for IC engine)
The aluminum alloy piston for an internal combustion engine is typically manufactured using sand casting, a process where molten metal is poured into a mold made of sand. This corresponds to Option (D) for P-1. Step 2: Component Q (Low carbon steel oil pan)
A low carbon steel oil pan is usually produced using deep drawing, a process where the sheet metal is drawn into a die to form the desired shape. Hence, Q-3 corresponds to deep drawing. Step 3: Component R (Tungsten carbide cutting tool insert)
Tungsten carbide cutting tool inserts are made using powder metallurgy, where tungsten carbide powder is pressed and sintered to form the tool insert. Hence, R-2 corresponds to powder metallurgy. Step 4: Component S (Plastic bottle)
A plastic bottle is manufactured using blow molding, a process in which molten plastic is inflated inside a mold to create hollow shapes like bottles. Therefore, S-4 corresponds to blow molding. Thus, the correct matching is:
- P-1: Sand casting
- Q-3: Deep drawing
- R-2: Powder metallurgy
- S-4: Blow molding
Final Answer: (D) P-1, Q-3, R-2, S-4
