Why are aluminum alloy washers used with steel bolts on aluminum alloy parts in lowtorque
applications?
Correct Answer
C. Prevent corrosion
Explanation
Aluminum alloy washers are used with steel bolts on aluminum alloy parts in low-torque applications to prevent corrosion. When two different metals come into contact, such as aluminum and steel, a chemical reaction called galvanic corrosion can occur. This can lead to the deterioration of the metals and weaken the overall structure. By using aluminum alloy washers, it creates a barrier between the aluminum and steel, preventing direct contact and reducing the risk of corrosion.
20.
How are special bolts identified?
Correct Answer
D. The bolt head is marked with the letter S
Explanation
Special bolts are identified by marking the bolt head with the letter S. This marking helps distinguish special bolts from regular bolts and allows for easy identification during assembly or maintenance processes. The other options mentioned, such as zinc-plated nickel steel covering or galvanized-plated steel covering, are not specific to special bolts and may be used for regular bolts as well. Therefore, the marking of the letter S on the bolt head is the most reliable and consistent method of identifying special bolts.

47.
How is the piston installed in an accumulator?
Correct Answer
B. Hollow end towards the air side of the accumulator
Explanation
The piston is installed in an accumulator with the hollow end towards the air side of the accumulator. This is because the air side of the accumulator is typically pressurized, and the hollow end of the piston allows for the movement of air and the compression of the gas inside the accumulator. Placing the hollow end towards the fluid side of the accumulator would not allow for proper pressurization and operation of the accumulator. Similarly, a drilled passage towards the air side of the accumulator would not serve the purpose of pressurizing the gas. Therefore, the correct installation is with the hollow end towards the air side.
