CWB 2 VISUAL WELD INSPECTOR EXAM-COMPLETE
EXAM SET WITH QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS
The plasma arc welding process is similar to what other welding process in
principles of operation - correct-answer -GTAW
For a flat weld profile and good penetration profile using the MCAW process -
correct-answer -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 - correct-answer -decreasing tip to work distance without
adjusting any other variable will cause a increase in deposition rate
Electrode stick out is measured - correct-answer -From tip of nozzle to end of
electrode
Contact tip-to-work is the sum (CTTW) - correct-answer -of the electrode
extension and arc length

Increasing electrical sickout - correct-answer -decreases voltage, decreases
current and increases resistance
