Metallurgical Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Study Guide: Question #25


It Is the Policy of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) to Encourage the Professional Registration of Metallurgical Engineers.

A flat rectangular shim is to be cold open die-forged perpendicular to the long dimension of a bar 0.350 inch high × 0.350 inch wide × 3.000 inch long. The final height is to be 0.100 inch. The material is to be cartridge brass and it is desired to make the shim in one stroke. A 500-ton press is available and the initial approach is to use no lubrication. The starting material will be in the annealed condition and the final part will be annealed before use.

What is the approximate final length and width dimensions (inches) of the shim?

(A)
3.000, 1.225
(B)
3.000, 0.100
(C)
0.100, 0.857
(D)
0.100, 3.000
