procedures and when assessing the acceptability of welding - ANS... -Be fair and
endeavor to exercise sound judgement

substances which emit short wave lengths electromagnetic radiation
Welding inspection should begin - ANS... -prior to the actual fabrication process

the weld metal whose properties have been changed due to the heat of welding
When an arc is formed between two electrodes - ANS... -electricity flows from
negative cathode to positive anode
The magnetic pinch force helps in the process of the detaching the molten metal
drops from the electrode tip. The magnetic force - ANS... -increases as the square
of the current causing smaller and smaller droplets to be detached
The electric current for welding must be transformed from - ANS... -High voltage,
low amperage to low voltage, high amperage
The major advantage of electron beam welding process is - ANS... -full penetration
welds on thick material in one pass
The progress of welding with Electroslag welding process is - ANS... -Vertical up
Explosion welding - ANS... -is solid state process in which coalescence is
produced through high speed impacting of two or more materials by controlled
detonation
A typical application for thermite welding is - ANS... -joining of rails
Welding without filler metal with GTAW process is referred to as - ANS... -
autogenous welding
A typical weld flaw associated with GTAW process is - ANS... -porosity
SMAW power sources typically have a volt-ampere curve that is - ANS... -
drooping
Once a box of E49XX low hydrogen electrodes has been opened the electrodes
may remain at ambient temperature for up to a maximum of - ANS... -4 hours
, Shielded Metal ARC Welding (SMAW) process - ANS... -establishes an arc
between the end of a covered electrode and the work piece.
The spray mode of metal transfer is achieved with - ANS... -high amperage, high
voltage and argon-rich shielding gas
digital wire feeders - ANS... -have feedback systems to maintain the preset wire
feed speed
wire designated by CSA standard W48 as an E491T-9MJ-H8 - ANS... -Results in
weld deposit with a maximum of 8 ml diffusible hydrogen per 100 g of weld metal
Self shield flux cored wires are - ANS... -better able to tolerate air currents
The AWS classes metal cored wire along with - ANS... -solid wires
SAW Fluxes that significantly influence the composition of the weld metal through
slag/metal reactions are called - ANS... -active
Resistance welding of aluminum - ANS... -Can be done but with greater difficulty
due to its low resistivity
The plasma arc welding process is similar to what other welding process in
principles of operation - ANS... -GTAW
For a flat weld profile and good penetration profile using the MCAW process -
ANS... -15 degree travel angle using push technique should be used
What is the effect of tip to work distance (electrical sickout on deposition rate of
submerged are welding - ANS... -decreasing tip to work distance without adjusting
any other variable will cause a increase in deposition rate
Electrode stick out is measured - ANS... -From tip of nozzle to end of electrode
Contact tip-to-work is the sum (CTTW) - ANS... -of the electrode extension and
