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. Containing little or no iron






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






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






4. 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






5. A set of rules or principles or laws (especially written ones)






6. Put into a certain place or abstract location






7. A cloud- like area where welding fume collects






8. Of or relating to very low temperatures






9. Direct Current






10. 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.






11. Compliance for Safety Glasses






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






13. A conductor used to make electrical contact with some part of a circuit






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






15. A movement forward






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. Materials or liquids that catch fire easily






23. The surface of a material in contact with another to which it is or will be joined






24. (physical chemistry) a fourth state of matter distinct from solid or liquid or gas and present in stars and fusion reactors






25. Possible to burn






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






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






28. 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.






29. Air conditioning; alternating current






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






31. Any of the chemically inert gaseous elements of the helium group in the periodic table






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






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






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






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






36. American Welding Society






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






38. 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.






39. A permit system for Hot Work is required by the State Fire Prevention Code and OSHA






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






41. National Electrical Manufaturers Association






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






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






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

48. Lack of connection of continuity






49. The difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts






50. 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.
