Chromium in steel_________________?

A. improves wear resistance, cutting ability and toughness
B. refines grain size and produces less tendency to carburisation, improves corrosion and heat resistant properties
C. improves cutting ability and reduces hardenability
D. gives ductility, toughness, tensile strength and anticorrosion properties
E. makes steel hard

White cast iron__________________?

A. contains 1.7 to 3.5% carbon in free state and is obtained by the slow cooling of molten cast iron
B. is also known as chilled cast iron and is obtained by cooling rapidly. It is almost unmachinable
C. is produced by annealing process. It is soft, tough and easily machined metal
D. is produced by small additions of magnesium (or creium) in the ladle. Graphite is in nodular or spheroidal form and is well dispersed throughout the material
E. none of the above
