__________is extensively used for those portions of magnetic circuit which carry steady flux and need superior mechanical properties ?

Correct answer: B. Cast steel

  • A. Grey cast-iron
  • B. Cast steel
  • C. High carbon steel
  • D. Stainless steel

Explanation

Cast steel is selected for magnetic-circuit sections carrying steady flux when high mechanical strength is important. Grey cast iron is easier to cast but is more brittle and mechanically weaker.
