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.

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






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






9. 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.

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






22. Compliance for Safety Glasses






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






24. The act of splashing a (liquid) substance on a surface






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






26. 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






27. Department of Transportation






28. Containing little or no iron






29. American Welding Society






30. Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of a chemical substance is a level to which it is believed a worker can be exposed day after day for a working lifetime without adverse health effects.






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






32. Of or relating to or containing iron

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






39. An affix that is added at the end of the word






40. 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.

44. Steel whose characteristics are determined by the amount of carbon it contains






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






46. 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






47. Lack of connection of continuity






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






49. Any of the chemically inert gaseous elements of the helium group in the periodic table






50. Discontinuity in a groove weld in which the weld metal doesn't extend through the joint thickness.
