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






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






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






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






5. PSI (pounds per square inch ) a unit of pressure equal to 6.895 x 10 Pa or 51.71 torr






6. Cut away material from the underside of (an object) so as to leave an overhanging portion in relief

9. The basic unit of electric current adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites






10. Of or relating to very low temperatures






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






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






13. Direct Current






14. 30% of the heat is concentrated in the workpiece; 70% of the heat in concentrated in the tungsten electrode; Shallow penetration; Wide weld area; used only for welding thin sheet metal where low current is sufficient.






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






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






17. A movement forward






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






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






20. Department of Transportation






21. 70% of the heat is concentrated in the workpiece; 30% of the heat is concentrated in the tungsten electrode; Deep penetration; Narrow weld area; welding other materials than aluminum or magnesium






22. A cloud- like area where welding fume collects






23. Fastening firmly together






24. An aperture or hole opening into a bodily cavity






25. 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






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






27. An affix that added in front of the word






28. A vehicle used to haul goods ; especially : a strong cart or wagon without sides

34. A metal joint formed by softening with heat and fusing or hammering together






35. Possible to burn






36. A condition that occurs when the arc does not follow its intended path from the electrode to the workpiece. Arc blow can cause undesirable weld beads.






37. 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.






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






39. In constant change
