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






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






3. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH); develops TLVs and BEIs as guidelines to assist in the control of health hazards






4. An aperture or hole opening into a bodily cavity






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






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






7. A movement forward






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






9. 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.






10. 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.

17. Materials or liquids that catch fire easily






18. In constant change

20. 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.






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






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






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

29. To cause to die or lose consciousness by impairing normal breathing - as by gas or other noxious agents; choke; suffocate; smother.






30. Possible to burn






31. 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.






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






33. 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

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






36. American Welding Society






37. The strength of material expressed as the greatest longitudinal stress it can bear without tearing apart






38. Procedure To prevent the accidental release of energy to equipment being cleaned -






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