Chapter 10: Welding, Brazing, And Cutting Processes Flashcards
Which is not necessary requirement for a welding process?
Electricity (but you do need a source of energy and means of shielding molten metal)
Which are functions of the flux coating of a SMAW electrode?
Insulating, deoxidation, alloying, and shielding
In the AWS system of SMAW electrode designations, the next to the last number refers to:
Position
Which of the following is an incorrect statement about a SMAW electrode designated as an E7024?
That it is low hydrogen (they end in 5, 6, or 8)
Which of the following is an essential part of a typical SMAW system?
Constant current power supply, covered electrode, electrode lead, work lead but a wire feeder is NOT essential
Shielding of the molten metal in GMAW is accomplished through the use of:
Inert and reactive gasses
Which of the following is not considered a type of metal transfer for GMAW?
Short circuiting, spray, globular, droplet, pulsed arc
Droplet
Which of the following types or metal transfer in GMAW is considered to be the lowest energy, and therefore prone to incomplete fusion?
Shot circuiting
What type of welding process is pictured below?
SAW
Which of the following is not considered an arc welding process?
SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, ESW, None
ESW
In the electrode designation system for FCAW, the second number refers to:
Position
Which of the following is not always as essential element of FCAW system?
Shielding gas
What aspect of the GTAW and PAW processes is different from the other arc welding processes?
Nonconsumable electrode
Shielding for the GTAW and PAW processes is accomplished through the use of:
Inert gas
A green stripe on tungsten electrode designates:
Pure tungsten
When welding aluminum with the GTAW process, what type of welding current is most commonly used?
AC alternating current
SAW and ESW are similar in that:
Both use granular flux
The diagram below depicts what welding process?
FCAW
Solidification cracking due to improper width-to-depth ratio of the weld nugget may be a problem with which welding process?
SAW
A welding process done essentially in the flat position with welding progressing from the bottom to the top of the weld joint positioned vertically identifies:
ESW
Which of the following are not common to both GTAW and PAW?
Copper constricting orifice (only PAW has copper)
What technique is employed with PAW to produce full penetration welds?
Keyhole
What welding process produces welds in the flat position, in a single pass, with the progression vertically upward along the joint?
ESW
Which of the following is not an advantage of the ESW process?
Ease of setup
Which welding process is considered to be a chemical process?
OAW
Which arc welding process provides an efficient means of joining attachments to some planar surface?
SW
Brazing differs from welding in that;
The base metal is not melted
For satisfactory results, a braze joint should have:
A large surface area and a small gap between pieces to be joined
Which of the following is not an advantage of brazing?
Ease of joining thick sections, ability to join disimilar metals, ability to join thin sections
Ease of joining thick sections
