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. National Electrical Manufaturers Association






2. Direct Current






3. 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.






4. Of or relating to or containing iron






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






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






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






8. Put into a certain place or abstract location






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






10. In constant change






11. Materials or liquids that catch fire easily






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






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






14. An affix that added in front of the word






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






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






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






18. 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.






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






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






21. Lack of connection of continuity






22. 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.






23. 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

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






30. An aperture or hole opening into a bodily cavity






31. American Welding Society






32. Fastening firmly together






33. 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.






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






35. Air conditioning; alternating current
