*METAL WORKS SOLUTIONS* (1a) (i) Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety goggles to protect the eyes from flying metal chips and gloves to prevent hand injuries. (ii) Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped before drilling to prevent it from spinning or moving, which could cause accidents or damage. (1b) (i) Scrap steel (ii) Pig iron (iii) Iron ore (iv) Limestone (1c) (i) Used for fabricating lightweight machine components due to its low density and corrosion resistance. (ii) Employed in the manufacturing of workshop tools and fixtures, such as clamps and jigs, where non-magnetic and rust-proof materials are preferred. (1d) A hot set is a forging chisel used to cut hot metal during forging operations. It is made of high-carbon steel and features a sharp cutting edge. The tool is held against the heated metal workpiece and struck with a hammer to make clean cuts while the metal is still malleable. Hot sets help in trimming, slotting, or cutting operations when shaping forged components.
