Question

Tong hold loss is a:

• A. Welding loss
• B. Forging loss
• C. Machining loss
• D. Casting loss

Hint:

In forging operations, managing tong hold loss can improve material efficiency and reduce waste. Always consider the best way to handle and secure the workpiece.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Tong hold loss refers to a type of loss that occurs during the forging process, specifically due to the inefficiency of holding the workpiece in place with tongs. This can lead to deformation, wastage of material, or reduced quality of the final product. Hence, it is categorized as forging loss. Welding, machining, and casting losses involve different types of material waste or inefficiency during their respective processes.
