Tubes made of steel can be hammered while hot, but a cutting tool also made of steel cannot be hammered while hot. This due to:
Correct answer: A. More carbon content in cutting tools
- A. More carbon content in cutting tools
- B. More iron content in cutting tools
- C. More sulphur and phosphorous content in cutting tools
- D. None of the above options
Explanation
Tubes made of steel can be hammered while hot because they typically have a lower carbon content compared to cutting tools made of steel. When steel contains a lower carbon content, it tends to be more ductile and malleable, meaning it can undergo deformation without fracturing. This allows tubes made of steel to be hammered into shape while hot.In contrast, cutting tools made of steel often contain a higher carbon content. This higher carbon content increases the hardness and wear resistance of the steel, making it suitable for cutting and machining operations. However, higher carbon content also decreases the ductility and malleability of the steel, making it more prone to fracturing when subjected to hammering while hot.Overall, the correct option (A) accurately explains why tubes made of steel can be hammered while hot, whereas cutting tools made of steel cannot be hammered while hot.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
