Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 15 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A test piece of metal






2. The distance from which the electrode is from the base metal while you're welding.






3. A type of weld bead made without appreciable weaving motion






4. The angle formed between the electrode and the work piece.






5. Stringer beads ran one next to another completely filling the pad






6. The deposited filler metal on and in the work surface when the wire or electrode is melted and fused into the steel.






7. Electrodes come either covered with flux - or just bare wire. In the field an electrode is called a 'rod' in stick welding - and 'wire' for MIG and Flux Cored Arc Welding.






8. Shielded Metal Arc Welding






9. When the FLUX on a welding Rod melts it produces the Shielding Gas to protect the weld - and then forms a hardened protective coating over the weld. This has to be chipped off and thoroughly cleaned - usually by brushing.






10. Cleans the surface and when burned makes a Shielding Gas that protects the weld POOL - or Puddle from atmospheric contaminants that cause Defects.






11. The fusing of two pieces of metal together.






12. What we call the Electrode Holder in the shop or field.






13. Gas Metal Arc Welding






14. Is the Fusion or depth into the Parent Metal from its surface






15. How far the wire sticks out from the end of the Nozzle in MIG welding.
