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






2. 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






3. An aperture or hole opening into a bodily cavity






4. Compliance for Safety Glasses






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






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. Containing little or no iron






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






9. In constant change






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






11. Put into a certain place or abstract location

13. Of or relating to or caused by a toxin or poison






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






15. 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.
