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.

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






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






9. 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.

11. 'kilo- pound[- force] per square inch') is 1000 psi






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






13. 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.






14. National Electrical Manufaturers Association






15. Air conditioning; alternating current






16. 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.

20. An affix that added in front of the word






21. Lack of connection of continuity






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






23. A widely used abbreviation for Material Safety Data Sheet. A MSDS contains details of the hazards associated with a chemical - and gives information on its safe use.

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






26. Fastening firmly together






27. Planar weld discontinuity in which fusion does not occur between the weld metal and base metal or between adjoining weld beads
