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.

5. An aperture or hole opening into a bodily cavity






6. 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.






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






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






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






10. Compliance for Safety Glasses






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






12. A government agency in the Department of Labor to maintain a safe and healthy work environment






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






14. 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






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

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






18. 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.






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