Hardness of steel depends on_________________?
  • (A)  amount of carbon it contains
  • (B)  the shape and distribution of the car-bides in iron
  • (C)  method of fabrication
  • (D)  contents of alloying elements
  • (E)  the quality of ore from which it is made
Vanadium in high speed steels__________________?
  • (A)  promotes decarburisation
  • (B)  provides high hot hardness
  • (C)  forms very hard carbides and thus in-creases wear resistance
  • (D)  promotes retention of austenite
  • (E)  increases toughness
