Non-ferrous alloys used for making cutting tools need not have high__________________?

Correct answer: B. Toughness

  • A. Abrasion resistance
  • B. Toughness
  • C. Red hardness
  • D. Cutting speed

Explanation

Cutting-tool materials must resist abrasion and retain hardness at high temperature, known as red hardness. Very high toughness is not essential for non-ferrous tool alloys, although sufficient toughness is needed to avoid brittle failure.
