Welding Vocab 2

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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. Air conditioning; alternating current






2. Cut - notch or groove; quantity of something cut at the same time

4. Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of a chemical substance is a level to which it is believed a worker can be exposed day after day for a working lifetime without adverse health effects.






5. American Welding Society






6. Lack of connection of continuity






7. Discontinuity in a groove weld in which the weld metal doesn't extend through the joint thickness.






8. A phenomenon associated with surface tension and resulting in the elevation or depression of liquids in capillaries






9. Of or relating to or containing iron






10. Shield consisting of an arrangement of metal mesh or plates designed to protect electronic equipment from ambient electromagnetic interference






11. These are areas where your hands can become trapped or mashed between two objects






12. The property of being porous;being able to absorb fluids






13. American National Standards Institute; the governing body for standards in the U.S.






14. Of or relating to or caused by a toxin or poison






15. An aperture or hole opening into a bodily cavity






16. To solder (two pieces of metal) together using a hard solder with a high melting point.






17. A metal added in the making of a joint through welding - brazing - or soldering.

19. Visible particles of matter suspended in the air - such as mist or smoke






20. National Electrical Manufaturers Association






21. The union of diverse things into one body or form or group






22. Used to achieve better hardenability - which in turn improves its other mechanical properties. They are also used to increase corrosion resistance in certain environmental conditions. Difficult to weld.






23. To treat - combine - or impregnate with carbon - as when casehardening steel.






24. Of or relating to sytems made up of combination of letters and numbers






25. The act of splashing a (liquid) substance on a surface






26. An affix that is added at the end of the word

34. Steel whose characteristics are determined by the amount of carbon it contains






35. A homogeneous solid that can exist over a range of component chemicals






36. A mixture containing two or more metallic elements or metallic and nonmetallic elements usually fused together or dissolving into each other when molten






37. A low- carbon steel containing sufficient iron oxide to give a continuous evolution of carbon monoxide while the ingot is solidifying - resulting in a case or rim of metal virtually free of voids. Sheet and strip products made from rimmed steel ingot
