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. A cloud- like area where welding fume collects






2. In constant change






3. Put into a certain place or abstract location






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






5. Of or relating to or containing iron






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






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






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






9. 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.






10. Air conditioning; alternating current






11. Fastening firmly together






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






13. American Welding Society






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






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






16. Lack of connection of continuity






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






18. 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.






19. 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






20. Materials or liquids that catch fire easily






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






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






23. 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.






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






25. 70% of the heat is concentrated in the workpiece; 30% of the heat is concentrated in the tungsten electrode; Deep penetration; Narrow weld area; welding other materials than aluminum or magnesium






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






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

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






39. 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.
