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






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






3. Fastening firmly together






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






5. Containing little or no iron






6. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. Of or relating to very low temperatures






17. 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






18. Direct Current






19. Of or relating to or containing iron






20. 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.

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






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






35. 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.
