Exercise 22. Make up general and disjunctive questions and answer them ac- cording to the models to enhance your speaking skills. Model A: Each of metalworking categories contains various processes. Does each of metalworking categories contain various processes? — Yes, it does. Each of metalworking categories contains various processes, doesn’t it? — Yes, it does. 1. A mold contains a hollow cavity. 2. A sand casting process uses sand as
the mold material. 3. Forging improves the mechanical properties of metals.
4. Forging minimizes the internal grain size. 5. The metal fills the die cavity.
Model B: Most forging operations use metal dies. Do most forging operations use metal dies? — Yes, they do. Most forging operations use metal dies, don’t they? — Yes, they do. 1. Dies withstand the tremendous forces and pressure. 2. Forgings require
their considerable machining on completing open die forging process. 3. The
disadvantages of closed die forging include additional cost and the need for
lubrication and workpiece placement. 4. These forming processes involve the
application of mechanical force at room temperature. 5. Some recent develop-
ments involve the heating of dies.
Exercise 23. Make up special questions according to the models and answer them to streamline your speaking skills. Model A: Modern metalworking processes are forming, cutting and joining. What are modern metalworking processes? 1. The main forging operations are drawing out, upsetting, squeezing in
compression dies. 2. The main workpieces and machine parts manufacturing
processes are open die forging, impression die forging, closed die forging, sheet
metal forming. 3. Final metallurgy processes are rolling, extrusion and draw-
ing. 4. The main sheet metal forming processes are stamping, punching and
bending. 5. The main kinds of casting are sand casting, shell-mold casting, die
casting, and spin casting.
Model B: Heated liquid material is usually poured into a mold. What is usually poured into a mold? 1. A casting is ejected or broken out of the mold. 2. A sand casting is
characterized by using sand as the mold material. 3. A metal workpiece
151
is placed in a die. 4. A die is attached to the anvil. 5. A hammer is dropped
on the workpiece.
